Gourdy's Pumpkin Run: Kansas City
Gourdy's Pumpkin Run brings its autumn themed event to Kansas City on September 12, 2026. The event is held at HyVee Arena and is open to participants of all ages and abilities, including both runners and walkers. This event has been a seasonal staple since 2012, with proceeds helping to support the organization Girls on the Run.
The primary event is a distance that welcomes a wide range of participants:
- 5 km
Participants receive a registration package that includes a 2026 lightweight tech hoodie, a commemorative race bib with chip timing, and a finisher's medal. Upon reaching the finish line, participants are provided with a cup of apple cider and a small pumpkin to take home.
For those seeking an additional physical task, the Tough Pumpkin option allows participants to carry a pumpkin throughout the duration of the 5 km course. Individuals choosing this option select a pumpkin weighing between two and ten pounds at packet pick-up and receive an additional exclusive medal upon completion.
The event also offers a team registration format. When a team is created, each member who joins receives a reduction in their registration fee. The course is designed to be accessible for those looking for a seasonal athletic activity in the Kansas City area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
