A large group of Dewey’s Pizza volunteers and race participants pose under a black branded tent on a sunny city street. Some sit on the grass while others stand behind a table stacked with pizza boxes; many wear event t-shirts and finisher medals.

Where

[ Cincinnati ] We proudly race in the neighborhood of Oakley, which is home to our first location that opened in 1998. The start and finish line are right in our parking lot. Runners and the community can count on fun activities, hot pizza, cold beer and MUCH MORE.

[ Virtual ] Run to Raise Dough from anywhere! We are excited to offer a virtual option so everyone can join the fun. Our team members in each market meet up and complete the 5K together on the same day!

A silver, pizza-slice-shaped medal for the "Run to Raise Dough 5K" features "Dewey’s Pizza" on the crust and raised "D" logos as pepperoni. It hangs against a blurred outdoor background.

What

Each runner will receive a complimentary 5K shirt and coveted pizza medal in addition to a slice of pizza and a beverage of choice (21+) at the finish line! We hope to see you there! We also have a virtual option for anyone who wants to join the fun. All proceeds benefit mental health!

Why

We Nourish our Community. The Run to Raise Dough was established in 2018 to take our commitment to giving back to the next level. Since then, we have hosted more than 2,000 runners and donated more than $240,000 to our local community. We are proud to raise dough for local mental health organizations selected by our passionate crew members.
