About the Maryville College Pumpkin Run 5K
The course starts and finishes at Crawford House and winds through the college woods, partly following the campus cross country trails. It is soft underfoot in places, tree-covered, and quiet compared to a road race. The woods themselves are a working natural area, and the route feels like it belongs there.
Packet pickup and restrooms are in the Cooper Athletic Center lobby on race morning. Parking is in gravel lots just behind that building, with more across the road. After the finish, there are snacks, music, corn hole, and a chance to try the outdoor Alpine Tower at the Mountain Challenge area.
