Gourdy's Pumpkin Run: Manchester, October 3, 2026
Gourdy's Pumpkin Run in Manchester is a seasonal 5K road event held at Veteran's Memorial Park, 723 Elm St, Manchester, NH. The course covers 3.1 miles through tree-lined paths with occasional river views, combining city streets and natural scenery typical of New England in October. The event includes autumn-themed elements at the finish area, such as apple cider and opportunities for finisher medal photos.
Registration is tiered by date with listed prices for each period: $44, $49, $54, and $59. Registered participants receive event apparel and a finisher medal; early registration helps guarantee hoodie size and wave selection. A Participant Guide will be posted approximately one week before race day.
Packet pick-up is available the night before at the park and on race morning at the venue. During registration, participants choose a wave based on expected pace; example wave assignments indicate pace groups and include dedicated walker waves labeled F and G. About one third of participants typically choose to walk the course.
Team registration is available and provides a $5 discount per team member. Volunteer roles are offered with incentives such as a choice of a free race registration or a donation to Girls on the Run, plus an exclusive volunteer shirt and beanie. Parking is located in nearby garages, surface lots, and meters. Official results will be posted shortly after the race concludes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
