Due to COVID-19, the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival has been cancelled BUT the 42nd ANNUAL PUMPKIN RUN WILL GO ON! We are excited to announce our first ever VIRTUAL RACE!
Please join us in running or walking this year’s races as part of our virtual race family! Sign up to run, or walk, the 5K, 10K or Half-Marathon. All distances can be run or walked during the event period, Monday, October 12 through Sunday, October 25 from wherever you are at whatever time is convenient!
This year, you also have the option of running or walking more than one event! In The Pumpkin Run Trifecta, you can run or walk all three events any time during the event period. Not ready for a half-marathon? Try the Pumpkin Run Double Trouble by completing both the 5K and 10K at any point during the event period. Both bundles come with a price break, and Trifecta runners even get additional swag once they upload their times for all three events.
Because the events are all virtual, we will not be awarding the top finishers, but participants will still be able to see how they stack up against other finishers by uploading their times via the ASICS Runkeeper App, manually, or using any other run tracker app.
Senior Coastsiders is also teaming up with Empowered Fitness, an awesome local fitness studio, to help give you all the tools you need to complete a successful race. From training plans to discounted virtual classes, we’ve got you covered.
And, as always, all proceeds will benefit Senior Coastsiders, a local non-profit dedicated to providing opportunities, support and resources for older adults and adults with disabilities living on the coast from Montara to Pescadero and Skyline to the Sea.
Due to the extended date range for this virtual event, and because you can participate literally anywhere, all registration, product and package fees are non-refundable.Registration fees
Prices are inclusive of mandatory charges, items, and fees

About the Virtual Event
Due to the restrictions in place with COVID-19, the 42nd Annual Pumpkin Run is 100% virtual! This means you can run or walk the event from wherever you are! In addition, instead of having to run on one specific date, you have almost two weeks in which to run or walk your event, giving you plenty of flexibility to do your distance at a time and location convenient to you! The event window starts on October 12 and ends at midnight on October 25, 2020. You can register any time from now through October 25, but just be sure to post your results before the event officially ends!
Speaking of results, we've enabled the ASICS Runkeeper app to seamlessly track your distance and time and upload the results immediately. Simply create a Runkeeper account, and you'll be taken directly to the start page. More information can be found at: Using the ASICS Runkeeper App
You can also use running apps such as Strava to upload results, and can even manually enter your time. Screen shots are welcome, too!
Did someone say "swag?"
In recognition of this unprecedented time, all participants will receive an awesome buff, which can be worn in a variety of ways (mask, head cover, tube top- use your imagination!). We also have additional buffs for sale while they last.
If you're planning on running or walking any of the distances with your dog (or pot-bellied pig?), we have a special event scarf for sale too. Now you can both show your Pumpkin Run pride!
