The Great Pumpkin Haul
The Great Pumpkin Haul takes place on 10/17/2026 at 1360 18 1/2 Rd, Fruita, Colorado. The event is a 2 miles route that passes through forests, open fields, hay bales, and the Moon Farm.
Each participant receives a pumpkin as part of entry and has an opportunity to pick a pumpkin at the patch before the event. Pumpkins are weighed and marked prior to the haul. During the route, participants carry their chosen pumpkin for the full distance.
The event offers several entry formats: solo hauler, 2 person team, 4 person team, charity entry, and a free entry for kids aged 4 and under. Team entries allow shared responsibility for the pumpkin among team members. Entry categories and participant age categories are specified by the organizer.
The course terrain includes natural surfaces and farm features such as hay bales, which can affect footing and the way a pumpkin is carried. Pumpkin weight varies by choice at the patch and contributes to the physical demand of the haul. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
