Thank you to Everyone.
For ten incredible years, the Becca Pizzi 5K has brought runners, families, and the entire community together to celebrate strength, determination, and the spirit of Belmont’s own World Marathon champion. What started as a local race has grown into a beloved tradition—an event that not only inspires people of all ages to get moving, but also raises vital funds for scholarships and community programs that make a lasting impact.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Becca Pizzi 5K, and it’s more than just a milestone—it’s a testament to a decade of community support, resilience, and shared joy at the starting line. From first-time runners to seasoned athletes, every participant plays a part in carrying forward Becca’s message: with passion and perseverance, anything is possible. Here’s to celebrating ten years of memories, and to many more finish lines ahead.
Congratulations to top male finisher Jared Rife on setting a course record (16:33) and top female finisher Jessica Hall (19:39)!
ABOUT
THE BECCA PIZZI 5K
The Becca Pizzi 5K road race celebrates Becca as a Two Time World Marathon Challenge Champion. In 2018, Becca conquered the World Marathon Challenge again…7 Marathons, 7 Continents, 7 Days. Repeating her 2016 victory, Becca impressively crossed the finish line setting another World Record, putting her in the Guinness Book of World Records!
Becca is 45 years old and lives in Belmont with her husband Joe and 17 year old daughter Taylor. Becca is a Belmont native and she attributes her success to the love and support of her community. She proudly remembers her early running days at Belmont High School. As a result, Becca is dedicated to giving back to the community that supported and influenced her throughout her running career. All race proceeds benefit Belmont High student/athlete scholarships.
All race proceeds benefit Belmont High student/athlete scholarships and the Belmont High School athletic programs. This event is organized by Becca and Fitness Together of Belmont.
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

Course Details
ONE MILE FOR KIDS
We love to kick off every race day with a fun and energetic Kids Run, designed especially for our youngest runners. This shortened course is the perfect way to introduce children to the joy of running in a safe, supportive, and exciting environment. Beyond just crossing the finish line, running teaches kids valuable life skills—like how to pace themselves, build endurance, practice consistently, and develop patience along the way. The Kids Run isn’t about competition, it’s about learning, growing, and most importantly, having fun. We invite all kids to lace up their sneakers and join Becca for this special tradition.
All race proceeds benefit the Becca Pizzi Foundation for the purpose of awarding Belmont High School student/athlete scholarships. The Becca Pizzi Foundation has awarded over 50k in scholarships and sports equipment for Belmont High School.
Each year, the Becca Pizzi 5K proudly awards scholarships to local students who embody the same passion, perseverance, and community spirit that Becca represents. These scholarships not only recognize outstanding achievements in the classroom and on the track, but also support the next generation of leaders as they chase their dreams. By investing in our youth, the race continues its mission of giving back, ensuring that the impact of this event goes far beyond the finish line.
Huge congratulations to 2025 recipients:
