Running for Robby


This year, the Kent Pumpkin Run is proud to support the Robby Kennedy Fund, helping continue the legacy of one of Kent's most beloved community members.

Known to many as the unofficial "Mayor of Kent," Robby Kennedy was a familiar face throughout town, always ready with a smile, a wave, a kind word, or a helping hand. Whether riding his bicycle through town, volunteering with local youth programs, supporting the Kent Volunteer Fire Department, or simply brightening someone's day, Robby embodied the spirit of kindness, generosity, and community.

In honor of Robby's remarkable legacy, 20% of all Kent Pumpkin Run ticket proceeds will be donated to the Robby Kennedy Fund to help support the construction of a new community shelter project in his memory. This shelter will serve as a lasting tribute to the kindness, warmth, and community spirit that Robby shared with everyone he met.

The Town of Kent recently proclaimed May 9 as "Be Kind Day" in honor of Robby Kennedy, recognizing the lasting impact his compassion and generosity had on our community.

As we celebrate the 50th Annual Kent Pumpkin Run, we invite runners, walkers, volunteers, and supporters to join us in honoring Robby's memory. Every registration helps ensure that his legacy of kindness continues to inspire future generations.

Run for the tradition. Run for the community. Run for Robby.

🎃 Celebrating 50 Years of Tradition, Community, and Costumes 🎃

Since 1977, the Kent Pumpkin Run has brought together runners, families, volunteers, businesses, and visitors for one of Connecticut's most beloved fall traditions. What began as a local road race has grown into Kent's largest one-day community event, creating generations of memories along the way.

The Kent Pumpkin Run is proudly organized by the Kent Chamber of Commerce and made possible through the support of our sponsors, volunteers, local businesses, and runners. Thank you for helping us celebrate 50 incredible years.

Run the Course. Wear the Costume. Celebrate the Tradition.

🍁 Kent, Connecticut • October 25, 2026 • Celebrating 50 Years 🍁
