About the Pumpkin Run™ - 5K
The Pumpkin Run is a chip-timed race held in the Town of Tioga, a planned community just outside Newberry. The course is open to families and pets, so expect a few leashes and small kids along the route. All proceeds go toward feeding hungry children in Alachua County and beyond, which gives the morning a purpose beyond just the race itself.
Packet pickup runs the couple of days before the event at a location in Gainesville, a short drive from the start. There is no race-morning pickup mentioned, so it is worth grabbing your bib during the pickup window.
