About the Great Pumpkin Run
The Great Pumpkin Run raises money for a local nonprofit that helps people with disabilities live more independently in the community. Costumes are encouraged, and runners can choose between a shorter or longer distance. The charitable purpose gives the morning a different feel than most local events.
Parking is available at a nearby school, with overflow in neighboring businesses. If you want to skip the check-in line on race morning, there is an early packet pickup option the day before at a local running store.
