The five-mile event is Kent’s largest one-day community event with up to 700 participants for the main event.

The Kent Pumpkin Run travels along one of the most scenic courses in Connecticut.

The Kent Pumpkin Run is organized by the Kent Chamber of Commerce which proudly supports local member businesses.  The Kent Pumpkin Run is hosted by the Kent Green Shopping Center.

Please Support our Sponsors ~ it is only through their generous support that this annual classic can continue to thrive!

Conquer the Run . . . .  In A Costume! 

Get your running costumes ready since race day is on Halloween this year!  Each year the race has had more & more costume-clad runners. Prizes will be awarded to the top five most creative costumes.

We encourage all participants to bring non-perishable donations to support the great work of our Official Charitable Beneficiary,  The Kent Food Bank, as they prepare for their busiest time of year.   Donations can be dropped off at the Heron American Craft Gallery (16 North Main Street, Kent) anytime.  You can also make a monetary donation when you register for the run via Eventbrite.

Thank You for any support you can give for families in need!
