Description
Fall is here and so is The Great Pumpkin Run!
Get ready to tackle 3.1 miles at Bloomsbury Farm! Participants will enjoy a trail run that covers the gorgeous grounds of the farm. Traverse meadows, dash through the pumpkin patch, and meander past autumn cornfields before celebrating everything that's great about fall at the finish line!
Be sure to invite friends and create a team of 4+, as each team member will save $5. Pumpkins, apple cider, and friends on the farm. It doesn't get much better than that!
Packet pick-up is available the day before the race as well as on race morning. Swing by the farm the night before the race from 4-7PM to grab your packet and avoid race day lines!
Race day packet pick-up will be held at the farm beginning at 7AM. Please arrive early as packet pick-up lines tend to get long about an hour prior to race start.
