Pi Day Run for Rescue Mission

CANFIELD

The Pi Day Trail Run Challenge, planned by students at the Mahoning County Career & Technical Center to help clients at Rescue Mission of Mahoning Valley, is Saturday.

The students will use proceeds from the $25 pre-registration fee or the $30 day-of-the-race entry fee to fill their pantry for classes to prepare meals for the Rescue Mission.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the race starts at 10 a.m. The 3.14-mile trail run starts at the MCCTC campus at 7300 N. Palmyra Road and covers pavement, grassy fields and muddy trails. Participants who finish the race will receive pie, and there will be winners in all age groups.
