About the Pumpkinpalooza Trail Run
All distances at Millican Reserve use single-track trails that vary enough to keep things interesting without being punishing, terrain that works for someone new to trail running as well as someone who has been at it for years. Aid stations are spaced through the course and stocked with water you can use to refill your own bottles.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at Millican Reserve, with a second window on race morning. Post-race food and drinks are at the finish. The event goes on regardless of weather, so dress for whatever the morning brings.

The Pumpkinpalooza Trail Run has been held every year since at least 2020. 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 Jul 27, 2026.
