Run. Slice. Beam us up.

Celebrate National Pepperoni Pizza Day the CaliFlow way — with coastal miles, alien sightings, and a finish line that delivers exactly what you’re thinking about: pizza.

The Take Me to Your Pizza Alien Dash is a playful, out-of-this-world race experience where running meets ridiculous fun. Whether you’re chasing a PR, running for vibes, or just here for the post-race carbs, this is one event you knead on your calendar.

Expect ocean views, UFO-level energy, and a finish line party that’s equal parts weird, welcoming, and wildly fun.
