Ipswich Family YMCA Run For The Pies
The Ipswich Family YMCA Run For The Pies is a community run held on November 26, 2026 at Ipswich Town Hall on Green Street in Ipswich, MA. The event offers two untimed courses intended for a range of participants and community members.
Distances:
- 1.2 mile fun run for children and families
- 2.8 mile main course
The course is stroller friendly and allows well behaved dogs. Registration fees are modest: the 1.2 mile entry is listed at $3 early and $5 later, while the 2.8 mile entry is listed at $5 early and $10 later. All sales are final and no refunds will be offered. The run is explicitly not timed.
Proceeds support the Ipswich Family YMCA Financial Assistance Program and local food pantries including The Open Door and ACCORD Food Pantries. Fundraising levels are set at specific amounts labeled Starting Line, Gravy ($50), Whole Pie ($100) and Turkey ($250). Prizes include a large Russell Orchards apple pie awarded to every 10th adult finisher and a 4 inch Table Talk pie for each child finisher. Race day swag includes tee shirts while supplies last.
Bib pick up is available at the Ipswich Family YMCA on designated weekdays and on race day at the Town Hall lot. Free parking is available at Ipswich Town Hall and the nearby MBTA commuter rail lot. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
