Gourdy's Pumpkin Run: Columbus

Gourdy's Pumpkin Run: Columbus is a festive 5K run or walk held annually in downtown Columbus at Genoa Park. Open to all ages and abilities, participants enjoy a scenic 3.1-mile course through the city in the fall. The event includes a lightweight tech hoodie, finisher's medal, commemorative bib with chip timing, a cup of apple cider, and a small pumpkin to take home.

A special "Tough Pumpkin" option allows runners to carry a pumpkin during the race for an additional medal. Proceeds support Girls on the Run, empowering young girls. The race fosters a fun, community atmosphere and has become a beloved fall tradition since 2012. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
