Scarecrow Shuffle
The Scarecrow Shuffle is a fall community running event held at Peddler's Village in New Hope, PA (2449 Street Road, New Hope, PA 18938, United States). The event includes multiple distance options and a kids' run, and it takes place on Sunday, October 18, 2026.
Distances include:
- 8K
- 5K Run/Walk
- 2 Mile Fun Run
- Kids' run
Packet pick-up is available the day before the event on Saturday, October 17, from 4:00 to 6:00 pm at the race site; Saturday pick-up is encouraged but not mandatory. Race day packet pick-up is offered in the morning and closes promptly at 8:30 am. Participants who arrive for packet pick-up before the listed times should note that packets will not be available earlier.
Costume participation is part of the event atmosphere: dressing as a scarecrow or a pumpkin results in automatic entry into the Scarecrow Shuffle costume contest, though dressing up is optional. The event is tied to a local autumn attraction, Scarecrows in the Village, which displays larger-than-life scarecrows around Peddler's Village.
Charitable support is part of the event: 100 percent of donations generated from the event go to the Bucks County Opportunity Council. Hoodie orders have a guaranteed deadline of September 7; additional hoodies may be ordered but are not guaranteed after that date. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
