Gourdy's Pumpkin Run: Baltimore : 5K on September 26, 2026
Gourdy's Pumpkin Run in Baltimore is a 5K run or walk held at the Inner Harbor with a start and finish at West Shore Park. The course follows the waterfront with the Baltimore skyline as a backdrop. The route is described as flat and fast and passes fall foliage typical of late September. Finish-line features include a medal photo location overlooking the water and a cup of apple cider.
Registration includes entry to the 5K, a lightweight tech hoodie, a finisher's medal, a commemorative bib, chip timing, a small pumpkin, and access to an online community for pre-race engagement. Team registration is available; teams of four or more receive a per-person discount. About one third of participants choose to walk; two walker waves are designated for solo and group walkers. An optional Tough Pumpkin challenge supplies a pumpkin to carry during the race and awards an additional medal.
The event lists Girls on the Run as its 2026 charity partner. Practical information provided for participants includes nearby parking in garages, surface lots, and meters, two packet pick-up options (the night before or on race morning), a participant guide posted about one week prior, and results posted after the race. Volunteer roles are available and include a choice of free race registration or a donation to Girls on the Run plus volunteer apparel.
Location: Inner Harbor, 401 Light St, Baltimore, MD 21202. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
