How Was the Pizza Race?

Runners reflect on the race.

This year's Pizza 5K was the largest in Westfield history with over 2,500 runners. After racing through the downtown streets and north side residential neighborhoods, they enjoyed pizza and music in the streets. Downtown restaurants were packed with runners enjoying a bite to eat after their race. Westfield Patch talked with some runners after the pizza race to see how the race went.
