River Crossing YMCA Pumpkin Pie 5K Run
The event is the 20th annual Pumpkin Pie run and walk held on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026, in Nazareth, Pennsylvania at 33 S. Main St. It features a timed 5K run and an untimed 1.5 mile scenic walk. The organizer frames the event as support for the Nazareth Branch of River Crossing YMCA and as a community activity promoting Healthy Living, Youth Development, and Social Responsibility.
Registration is available in multiple periods, with fees that vary by registration window and are non-refundable. The published fee range runs from $30 for early registration up to $50 for day-of registration; children age 9 and under are listed at $25. Day-of registration is available. Shirts are reserved for people registered before November 1 and must be picked up in person at designated pick-up times at the Nazareth YMCA; there are also race-week and day-of pick-up options.
The event uses pace-based starting groups to help maintain spacing. Dogs and strollers are assigned to the last run group immediately before the walking group. The organizer notes a record participation level in 2025 and indicates the event includes cheer sections, volunteers, and sponsors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
