About the Manufacturing & Quality Pumpkin Fun Run & Walk
The race takes place at Lilly Rec park, and costumes are a real part of the culture here. There are awards for best costume on the course, best cheering outfit, and best cheering squad, so the crowd gets into it as much as the runners and walkers.
Packet pickup happens at the park before the start, so there is no separate trip the day before. After everyone finishes, the morning stretches into games and an awards ceremony, with prizes going to the site that turns out the most participants.

The Manufacturing & Quality Pumpkin Fun Run & Walk has been held every year since at least 2022. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 23, 2026.
