About the Great Pumpkin Race-Live and Virtual 5K Walk/Run
The Great Pumpkin Race runs out of the Lewis County Fairgrounds Pavilion. Costume wearing is a real part of the morning, with prizes going to the funniest, scariest, most creative, and best group entries. The course is a walk-run open to both, timed professionally for those who want a result. Food and drinks are out after you finish.
Packet pickup and race-day registration both happen at the fairgrounds before the start. The race goes off rain or shine, and dogs are not permitted on the course.
