About the OC United 2026 Pumpkin Run and Ride
The course runs along the Juanita Cooke Greenbelt Trail, a path that winds through Fullerton with enough tree cover to make it feel removed from the surrounding streets. The trail surface is mostly packed and even underfoot. Bike riders head out on road and mountain routes the same morning, so the event has a few things going at once.
Check-in for general public runners happens at a parking lot behind the North Justice Center, near the trailhead. There is also an early check-in option the evening before at the OC United office on Commonwealth Avenue. Coffee and breakfast are at the start area, and costume awards are handed out after the run wraps up.

The OC United 2026 Pumpkin Run and Ride has been held every year since at least 2021. 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 18, 2026.
