The Pie Run Turns 50: Medals, Technical Shirts and (Of Course) Pie

Celebrating 50 years with medals, technical shirts, sculpture awards

Mike Leary | 09/30/2026

For half a century, the Signal Mountain Pie Run has kept it simple: run the brow, catch the sunrise, earn a pie. Since we’re celebrating our 50th this year, there’s pie and a whole lot more.

New! In Honor of 50!

•  Every finisher earns a custom medal. Yes, a medal. At the Pie Run.

•  Every participant gets a custom technical shirt in a new performance fabric.

•  Everyone enjoys a bigger finish-line spread thanks to Pruett’s and our sponsors: fresh biscuits, fresh-baked pumpkin pies, and plenty to eat and drink.

•  Top finishers take home custom pumpkin sculpture awards and have the opportunity to earn RRCA Tennessee State Championship medals.

If you’re only racing once that weekend, choose the race that goes all out! Register today!

The Pie Run You Know and Love

Don’t worry. Everything that makes the Pie Run so special is still there.

You’ll start and finish at Pruett’s Market, a family-owned store that hosts our race morning celebration. On the course, high school students will hand you water and neighbors will ring their cowbells. You’ll enjoy sunrise from East Brow Road with trees starting their fall colors. Cheerleaders, biscuits, pie, and good company will greet you at the finish. It’s more county fair than finish line, and that’s exactly the point.

Register today, and don’t let the 50th happen without you.

Many thanks to the sponsors who make these memories possible: Pruett’s Market, AdTech Ceramics, Citizens Tri-County Bank, Davis and Hoss, PC, Eyes on the Mountain, Flipper Bend, Powerade, Travis Close Homes, and Signal Mountain Family Dentistry.

The Signal Mountain Pie Run is hosted by the Chattanooga Track Club and benefits Walden's Ridge Emergency Service and the Signal Mountain and Walden's Ridge communities.
