Teams

Creating a team is easy as pumpkin pie: 1) The first person to sign up creates the team. 2) That person will enter a team name and password, then finish their own registration. 3) Once done, they can share the team name and password so others can join! The sweetest part? Each team member will save $5 on their registration! The team captain does not have to sign everyone up. Rather, each team member can sign up and pay for their own registration , all while still receiving $5 off!

Tough Pumpkin®

3.1 miles too easy? Add on the Tough Pumpkin option and we'll supply you with a pumpkin to tag along during the 5K!

How it works:

1. Add Tough Pumpkin during registration.
2. Choose your pumpkin at packet pick-up (sizes range from a couple of pounds up to ten pounds).
3. After crossing the finish line, you'll receive the exclusive Tough Pumpkin medal in addition to the regular finisher medal!

Help Out at the Race

We always need awesome volunteers to help make the race a success. There are several shifts to choose from when signing up as a volunteer. Besides having a great time at a beautiful park, you'll receive:
