Pi in the Sky

Pi in the Sky

Pi in the Sky is a community trail event in Phoenix, AZ, organized as a FAT ASS style event with no entry fee. It uses an out-and-back route that the organizer describes as roughly nine miles and begins and ends at the Hope Bible Church parking lot near 9425 N 26th St.

The route crosses the 51 Freeway onto the Dreamy Draw Bikeway, passes through the Phoenix Mountain Preserves, and includes a summit of Piestewa Peak. The course will be partially marked at critical junctions and Garmin coordinates are provided. Trails are generally marked but can become confusing where many small connector trails are present.

Terrain is rocky and often technical. There is very little shade and most of the course is exposed, so runners should plan for warm conditions typical in early June. Aid is minimal; the organizer notes a water fountain and restroom at the Dreamy Draw Trailhead, and participants are responsible for their own well-being. Timing will be handled manually.

The event is limited to 50 runners and has no entry fee. Registration details and course map are provided by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
