Morton Pumpkin Classic

Get ready to lace up your sneakers for a run that's a real slice of fun—the Morton Pumpkin Festival's Pumpkin Classic Run & Walk! Whether you're a seasoned runner or a casual walker, join us for an unforgettable morning that kicks off with a 2-mile untimed fun run/walk at 7:15 AM, followed by the more competitive 10K runners at 7:30 AM.

Our picturesque course winds through Morton's charming streets with a flat layout perfect for all ages and abilities—strollers and wheelchairs welcome (no roller blades or dogs, though!). Cross the finish line and dive into the festivities with our famous pumpkin donuts, live music, and the ultimate pumpkin pancake breakfast—all included with your race entry! Don't miss out on the post-race party where awards, including pumpkin pies and medals, will sweeten the deal for our top competitors. So, come for the run, stay for the fun, and make this a September to remember at the Morton Pumpkin Festival!
