Great Pumpkin Dash Trail 5K
The Great Pumpkin Dash Trail 5K is a trail run/walk held on October 11, 2026 at Blydenburgh County Park in Smithtown, NY. The event offers an in-person race and a virtual 5K option that allows participants to log results during the event window. The event is scheduled to take place rain or shine.
The course is scenic and shaded, composed of a mix of dirt roads and hard-packed trails with a few sandy sections. The paths are described as not overly technical; strollers and wagons are not permitted. Bathrooms are located a short walk from the start and finish areas.
Participants receive a Great Pumpkin Dash Trail race tee. Amenities include an informal bag check area, on-site hydration at the finish, and refreshments provided by All Round Foods and Waterloo Sparkling Water. Parking is available in multiple park lots, including the Picnic Areas 1-5 lot, the boat launch parking, and near the dog park.
Registration includes in-person and virtual entries, with an option to have a bib mailed for a fee if registration is completed at least ten days before the event. Age-group recognition and overall awards are listed for male, female, and non-binary categories across standard age groups. A portion of event proceeds benefits the Never Stop Running Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
