Meglio's Run for the Pizza 5K

Run - Eat Pizza - Support Breast Cancer Research

That's Right! We have combined running with America's favorite food, all while raising money for Breast Cancer Research!

Join us on October 24th in Newtown, PA as we run and enjoy that glorious, triangular piece of heaven, also known as a Slice of Pizza from Meglio's Wood Fired Pizzeria! And know while you're running you are also supporting a very worthy cause - Breast Cancer Research.
