Please note, if you are registered for a in-person race and wish to add the Tough Pumpkin Challenge, you must do so by managing your add-ons in RunSignup.
You can view the size chart below for the Lightweight Tech Hoodie. If you’re buying extra merch like the Training Tank Top or Crewneck Sweater, you will see the appropriate size charts when viewing the item on Gourdy’s General Store.
All items are unisex.
We encourage people of all levels and abilities to come out and join us. The race itself is a fun celebration of our favorite season! Whether you run it, walk it, or somewhere in between, you will have a great time. In fact, about 1/3 of all participants opt to walk the 5K.
Once you’re signed up for the Gourdy’s Pumpkin Run, you’ll become part of the Pumpkin Support League! The Pumpkin Support League (or PSL) is an easy way you can earn your registration fee back by inviting friends to join you this fall. Simply share your unique referral link on social media and start accruing referral points!
Earn Your Registration Fee Back
The more people that sign up through your link, the more rewards:
5 Referrals: $20 of your registration fee credited back
10 Referrals: The remainder of your base registration fee credited back
Share Early and Often
The more times you share, the more likely someone will see it and sign up using your link!
Make Sure They Use Your Link
Make sure they click through the link and register on the same visit. If they come back at a later time, the system may not count the referral due to individual browser settings. It’s a good idea to let people know you receive a referral credit as long as they click through your link and sign up in the same browsing session!
The majority of your registration fee goes to cover all the costs associated with producing the event. These include items like the Lightweight Tech Hoodie, finisher’s medal, bib, apple cider, shipping of items (for the Virtual Run), fulfillment service, promotion of the event, event staff, vendors, the list goes on…
Beyond that, we are proud to have our National Charity Partner: Girls on the Run! Gourdy’s Pumpkin Run is donating $1 for every registration this year to Girls on the Run! In addition to our donation, we’re giving participants the opportunity to fundraise and earn their registration fee back, or donate directly to Girls on the Run during registration.
Girls on the Run® is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. Inspiring girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running, Girls on the Run transforms the lives of girls across the country by teaching them critical life skills that stay with them for a lifetime. We’re so excited for this partnership and encourage you to learn more about it here: https://www.girlsontherun.org/gotr-and-gourdys/
Add on the Fall-natic Challenge and tackle a 5K every month this fall—September, October, and November. Here’s how it works:
Whether you’re running, jogging, or walking, it’s all about staying active, enjoying the crisp autumn air, and earning all three Fall-natic Challenge medals!
Apparently, some people think running isn’t tough enough. Grab a pumpkin from your nearby farm or gardening center and bring it along for the ride! In addition to the regular finisher’s medal, you’ll receive the exclusive Tough Pumpkin medal.
Be sure to snap some fun pics and use #toughpumpkin if you add this challenge on!
