The course uses gravel roads and runs past riverside scenery and nature areas. Organizers note rolling hills and long downhills; aid stations are frequent along the route. Aid stations are staffed by experienced volunteers and provide food and supplies.
A gravel bike event called the Gravel Smasher accompanies the running event on Sunday with 30, 60, or 70 mile options. The bike course follows portions of the Pumpkin Holler route and shares roads with runners on their final loop.
Eagle Bluff Resort serves as the start and finish area and offers parking, restroom and shower facilities, tent camping and RV hookups. Finish line activities include campfires, hot food, ample aid station supplies, music and informal gatherings.
The event lists Activate Oklahoma as a charitable partner. Pumpkin Holler takes its name from a small local community and runs through an area with regional cultural and natural history, including places reportedly connected to the novel "Where the Red Fern Grows."
