Le Bonheur Pumpkin Run : Jackson, TN
Le Bonheur Pumpkin Run takes place on October 3, 2026, at 1535 Vann Drive, Jackson, Tennessee. The event benefits Le Bonheur Children's Hospital and lists fundraising progress as $1,065.85 raised toward a $50,000 goal (2% raised).
The event provides multiple participation options:
- 5K
- Virtual run, includes shirt and shipping
- 400m Kids' Fun Run, ages 10 and younger, free without registration
A family story on the event page describes a child born with gastroschisis who received care at Le Bonheur. The child underwent multiple surgeries, spent 153 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, then continued follow-up care at the Le Bonheur Outpatient Center in Jackson. The child later returned for periodic appointments and is now reported to attend follow-up visits every six months and take part in age-typical activities.
The Kids' Fun Run is staged at the official 5K start line; participants in that 400m run receive a ribbon. The Kids' Fun Run is free and does not require registration unless a race shirt is desired, which is sold separately. A virtual option allows participants to run or walk remotely and submit results online; the virtual option includes shirt and shipping.
Listed registration fees show $28.74 for both the Jackson Virtual and the Jackson 5K; displayed prices include mandatory charges and fees. Sponsors named on the page include Ingram, Southern Security, Air Technical Solutions, Commercial Bank and Trust, Camping World, Empire Movie Theater, and the Le Bonheur League.
