Ivoryton Pumpkin Chase
The Ivoryton Pumpkin Chase comprises a 5K road and trail race and a Kiddie Pumpkin Fun Run for children age 7 and below. The event benefits the Ivoryton Library and takes place during the peak foliage season of southern New England. The start location is at the Ivoryton Library on Main Street.
Distances offered:
- 5K Road/Trail Race
- Kiddie Pumpkin Fun Run (age 7 and below)
The 5K course follows North Main Street for about one half mile, then turns left onto Falls River Drive. At the one mile mark the route enters the Falls River Preserve for a 1.1 mile trail loop that runs alongside the Falls River. The trail includes roughly one half mile of double track before changing to hilly and rocky single track. Runners should take care on sections with jagged rocks and exposed roots; the trail can be slippery in wet conditions.
