Great Pumpkin Dash Trail 5K
The Great Pumpkin Dash Trail 5K is a trail run and walk held at Blydenburgh Park within the Nissequogue Lands / Blydenburgh State Park area in New York. The event includes a main 5K trail distance and a free Kiddie Dash for children.
The course runs on scenic, shaded terrain composed of dirt roads and hard-packed trails with a few sandy spots. Trails are described as not overly technical. Strollers and wagons are not permitted. Bathrooms are located within a few minutes' walk from the start and finish. Hydration is provided at the finish line.
Amenities noted for participants include an informal bag check area, a Great Pumpkin Dash Trail tee, and postrace refreshments provided by All Round Foods and Waterloo Sparkling Water. Results are available live online and by email or text with same-day finish line photos and free video.
Parking guidance covers multiple lots within Blydenburgh County Park, including Picnic Areas 1-5 near the Veteran's Highway entrance, the boat launch parking, and additional spaces near the dog park.
A virtual participation option allows entrants to record and submit a time and up to five photos beginning on the event start day and continuing for one week. Bib mailing is available for a fee and must be requested in advance; mailed bibs are a keepsake but are not required to participate.
A portion of proceeds benefits the Never Stop Running Foundation, a nonprofit that supports athletic and charitable events and athlete development. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
