Gourdy's Pumpkin Run: Akron

Fall is calling, and so is Gourdy's Pumpkin Run! Join us this October in the heart of downtown Akron for an exhilarating 5K experience that's open to enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. Sprint, jog, or stroll through a scenic course and, as a reward, savor a crisp cup of apple cider and select a pumpkin to take home. This festive event, established in 2012, goes beyond fun runs; it's a celebration of autumn that also champions a fantastic cause. Your entry supports Girls on the Run, fueling their mission to empower young girls. And the perks? You'll receive a cozy 2024 Lightweight Tech Hoodie, a dazzling finisher's medal, a commemorative race bib with chip timing, and of course, that well-earned cider and pumpkin. Get into the spirit of the season—lace-up for a run with heart, harvest, and happiness!
