The 3rd Annual Missing Slice – Love, Hope & Pizza 5K
Hosted by the Lenawee Endurance Club in partnership with Hungry Howie’s
📅 Saturday, October 24, 2026 | 🕗 8:30 AM Start | 📍 Adrian High School

The Lenawee Endurance Club is proud to bring back The Missing Slice – Love, Hope & Pizza 5K for its third year! This annual event raises funds and awareness for breast cancer research, support, and early detection through the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Why “The Missing Slice”?
The name is a nod to our mission: to help close the gap in resources needed to end breast cancer—and a shout-out to our title sponsor, Hungry Howie’s, who will be serving up free post-race pizza for all participants!

This event is personal to so many of us—whether you or a loved one has faced breast cancer, we invite you to run, walk, or cheer in support of this meaningful cause. Our community fundraising goal this year is $2,500, and 100% of donations will go directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

The only change this year to the course is we are officially removing the bus loop at the finish. Runners will head north on McKenzie St., making two left turns down Budlong St. all the way to Maumee, making another double left-handed turn onto McKenzie St. Passing Hungry Howie's right there and up to Maple where participants will head east on Maple to Springbrook, North to Riverside and heading west to finish back at the bus loop for Adrian High School.
