Event Overview
The Great Pumpkin Run is an annual athletic event held in Rainsville, Alabama. The competition serves as a fundraiser for the DeKalb County Children's Advocacy Center, with all proceeds directed toward supporting abused children within the local county. The event takes place at 189 RTI Drive and features multiple running options for various age groups and interests.
The event offers two distinct distances:
- 5 km (3.1 miles)
- 1 mile Fun Run
The 5 km race includes a competitive element with cash prizes of $100 awarded to the overall male and female winners. Participants who register by October 6th are guaranteed a race day shirt. Registration fees increase for those who sign up on the day of the event compared to the pre-registration period.
The 1 mile Fun Run is specifically organized for participants aged 9 and under. This course does not cover a full mile; instead, it utilizes a short section from the beginning of the race route. This layout ensures that participants remain visible throughout the entire duration of the run. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
