About the Pumpkin Run

The Pumpkin Run is part of a winter series that stretches across several events through the colder months. This race runs through Oconomowoc and its surrounding area, with both a shorter and a longer distance on offer. The course takes in suburban scenery, and the holiday theme gives the morning a festive pull without turning it into a spectacle.

Pumpkin Run 2025 Results

Going by the 2025 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

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 25, 2026.

Common Questions About the Pumpkin Run

Will I finish last at the Pumpkin Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 33:25, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:20:27, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Pumpkin Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 449 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Pumpkin Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:10 while the median finisher took 33:25. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
