Virtual Event FAQ
What is a virtual run?
A virtual run is a fun way to participate in the Pumpkin Run when you can’t attend in person for any reason. The virtual option allows you to participate at a time convenient to you within the event date window, and allows you to run or walk anywhere you choose.
What are the dates?
The virtual dates are from the opening of registration through 10/19/24. However, you must register by September 20, 2024. Your packet will not be available to you until October 1, 2024.
Do I have to complete all the events within the date window?
Yes! In order to upload your time and mark your event as complete, you will need to complete your event any time from between the opening of registration and 10/19/24. If you are registered for more than one distance, you can complete them on separate days!
Can I show up to do the in-person event on 10/20/24 if I don’t get my runs done within the event window?
