The Great Pumpkin Run - Washington

Washington, United States • 4 Oct 2025

The Great Pumpkin Run in Washington, Missouri, is hosted at Drews Dream Pumpkin Patch, with the start and finish near the YMCA at 400 Grand Avenue. The event blends a trail run and a road race, featuring uphill sections and a unique requirement: participants carry a pumpkin for the duration. It offers a timed 5K that is a double or nothing, plus a shorter Pumpkin Trail walk for those seeking a lighter distance. The atmosphere includes music, games, and snacks, with prizes for best costume, largest family participation, and fastest finishers. The course may be adjusted for inclement weather, and pumpkins are kept by finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
