Fall is here and the leaves are falling, so it’s a great time to start thinking pumpkins!
This year’s Pumpkin Run & Walk 5K is back in person at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College and will take place on Saturday, October 23. The race is Saturday, October 23, so it’s time to lace up your running shoes and get ready for northern Minnesota’s oldest Halloween-themed race!
The 16th annual Pumpkin Run & Walk 5K is scheduled for Saturday, October 23, 2021.
We look forward to bringing back an in-person event after converting to a virtual format in 2020. If necessary again, we will change to a virtual event format and no in-person event would be held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In either case, there will be a Pumpkin Run & Walk event in 2021. Check back often for updates.
We hope runners and walkers will register to participate and make the Pumpkin Run & Walk 5K the fun and successful event as in previous years. The Pumpkin Run & Walk is open to all interested runners and walkers.
Participants are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes or wear orange clothing to celebrate the theme of the race.
