Topeka Pumpkin Run
The Topeka Pumpkin Run is an annual Halloween themed community event at Felker Park in Topeka. It is hosted by Topeka South Rotary and the Topeka High Interact Club and raises funds for Rotary International's PolioPlus program. The event brings together runners, walkers, and families who are encouraged to wear creative Halloween costumes. The route is decorated with Halloween themes.
Distances offered:
- 5K Run/Walk
- Family Stroll
- Kid's Fun Run
The 5K course consists of a 1.55 mile loop. It starts in the Felker Park parking lot, heads south to the Shunga Trail, follows the Shunga Trail east to the McDonald Field parking lot as the turnaround, and returns to finish in the Felker Park parking lot.
The Fun Run and Family Stroll use a 1.25 mile loop. They begin in the Felker Park parking lot, head south to the Shunga Trail, follow the trail east until turnaround signs and event staff, and return to finish in the Felker Park parking lot.
Immediately after the races, participants and local families take part in a centralized Trunk or Treat hosted by high school students and Rotary members in a safe setting. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
