Gourdys Pumpkin Run
The event has been bringing all the joys of the season since 2012.
Namesake of the race. While he loves running, he never takes it too seriously.
Gourdy's Pumpkin Run has always been an event for all. Runners, walkers, skippers, and joggers are welcome!
Take part as much or as little as you want. Sure, you can show up on race morning and enjoy it. But, part of the fun is engaging with fellow fall-natics in the months leading up to the big day. A few ways:
Connect with our community of runners and walkers on our Facebook Community Group.
LEARN MORECreated several years ago, the Community Group has over 18,000 active members. It’s a peer to peer group where you can share your fall story, ask for training tips, and even show off your favorite fall recipes! Positive vibes and encouragement are the only requirement.
Strava is the premier free fitness tracking app.
LEARN MOREIf you’ve been running for more than a day, you’ve likely heard of Strava, the free app that helps track all your fitness workouts.
Join the official Gourdy’s Pumpkin Run club in Strava so you can train with our community of 21,000+ runners and walkers all spring, summer, and fall!
