The annual Bemis-Forslund Pie Race is a 5K footrace named for Henry Bemis (class of 1891), who donated prizes starting in 1908, and for Gladys Hall Forslund ’26, wife of longtime Mount Hermon Athletic Director Axel Forslund. Apple pies are awarded to runners who complete the course in a specified time.
The 131st annual Bemis-Forslund Pie Race will have a limited return to campus on Nov. 15. Hailed as America’s longest-running footrace, the 5K Pie Race is one of NMH’s favorite traditions. This year, only current students will race on campus for the chance to win a pie made by NMH Dining Services.
