48th Annual Pumpkin Run by Senior Coastsiders
The Pumpkin Run in Half Moon Bay includes multiple in-person distances and virtual options, with the start and finish located at Hatch Elementary School, 490 Miramontes Ave. Distances offered on event materials include:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
- Kid's Fun Run/Walk
- Virtual Run/Walk
Portions of the course use the Wavescrest Coastal Trail and run alongside the Pacific Ocean. The half marathon has a 3.5 hour time limit. Virtual participants may complete events during the virtual event period and can upload results via the ASICS Runkeeper app, other run tracker apps, or manually; virtual bundles include a Trifecta and a Double Trouble option. Virtual registrants who sign up after October 4, 2026 and request packet mailing may not receive event shirts before the event.
There is no parking in the Hatch Elementary School lot and Miramontes Avenue between Potter Avenue and the school must remain clear because it lies on the race route. Paid parking options listed for the event include Shoreline Station for $25 and adjacent PTO lots for $20. The event is not dog friendly due to insurance restrictions. Professional race photographs will be available after the event through the official race photographer.
Proceeds benefit Senior Coastsiders, a nonprofit that provides programs such as daily lunch, classes and lectures, Meals on Wheels, and home rehab for older adults on the Coastside. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
