Organiser's Description
PENSACOLA FOOD FIGHT FAMILY FESTIVAL & FUN RUN
Brought to you by the creators of the PENSACOLA PICKLES AND WINGS FAMILY FESTIVAL
pensacolafoodfest.com
DRESS LIKE YOUR FAVORITE FOOD.
PICK A FOOD. WEAR IT. RUN IT.
The Food Fight Fun Run is a costumed run and walk that kicks off the Pensacola Food Fight Family Festival at the Pensacola Equestrian Center. Nothing is timed. Nobody is racing. Pick a distance, put on the most ridiculous food costume you own, and take over 151 acres with a few hundred people who did the same thing.
RUN IT. WALK IT. WEAR IT.
Bring your whole crew. Groups are the best part of this, and they photograph better than anything else out there.
Every registration includes a bib and a ribbon at the finish. Water on course and at the finish. Bring your own costume, that is the whole point. We do not sell them.
PRIZES
Costume trophies for First, Second, and Third Place.
Judging happens at the festival, not at the run, and it is open to everyone on the grounds. You do not have to run to enter. Do not put the costume away at ten oclock. Judging time TBA.
The costume contest, live music, food trucks, makers market, kids zone and everything else happen at the festival starting at 10 AM.
DISTANCES
1 Mile Run or Walk
One easy loop of the grounds. Stroller and wagon friendly.
2 Mile Run or Walk.
A longer loop of the property. Run it, walk it, or somewhere in between.
Both distances start and finish at the PENSACOLA EQUESTRIAN CENTER, 7750 MOBILE HIGHWAY, PENSACOLA, FL 32526.
The entire course runs inside the fenced grounds. No open streets, no traffic, no intersections. Follow the instructions of course marshals and stay on the marked route.
PRICING
Ages 13 and up: $25 through October 31, $30 November 1 through December 31, $35 January 1 through January 17.
Ages 12 and under: $10 at every window.
Registration closes Sunday, January 17. All participants must be pre registered. There is no event morning registration. Entry fees are non refundable and bibs are non transferable.
The festival itself is free and open to everyone, so your registration covers the run only.
