Pumpkin Run and (Free Kid Mile Run)

Kosciusko County is about to kick off an annual tradition with our vibrant 5K Pumpkin Run! Imagine racing along a scenic road course in Warsaw, Indiana, where the picturesque views of Pike Lake meet the rustic charm of the Beyer Farm trail. This run/walk promises an unforgettable experience, punctuated by the taste of apple cider and the satisfaction of picking out your perfect pumpkin after the finish line.

Kids will be thrilled with the Pumpkin Mile Run that comes with their own pumpkin prize and finishing ribbon, while the top three in each age group will receive special awards. The festivities continue with our Annual Joyfest, featuring face painting, balloon animals, and an assortment of food from 11 am to 3 pm. Registering for this fall classic gets you a cozy 2025 lightweight hoodie, a finisher's medal, chip-timed race bib, and that well-earned cup of cider, plus a small pumpkin to commemorate your accomplishment. And if you're up for an extra challenge, tackle the Tough Pumpkin option for an added test of endurance with a pumpkin companion and an exclusive additional medal! Join us in creating lasting memories and starting a new tradition!
