The goal of our events is to get people outside, moving and having fun. Running, Math and Pie enthusiasts come together at the Pi Day Run featuring run/walk distances of 2Mi, Pi (3.14) Miles, and 2Pi (6.28) Miles. We invite Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math students or clubs to have a booth/display to be voted on by the participants. Cash prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place booths as voted for by our participants. Proceeds benefit a scholarship fund at CSU Fresno for STEM Majors.
Tell us about your group, club, or organization. Compete for the best STEM related booth/display. Each runner/walker will vote for their favorite display. Booths will be classified as youth (under 18), college, and professional.
Youth and college booths/displays compete for cash awards:
