Great Pumpkin Chase

The Great Pumpkin Chase is a festive fall running event held at the scenic Lake Elmo Park Reserve in Minnesota.

The course features beautiful trails through the park, providing a family-friendly atmosphere.

Participants enjoy water and electrolyte stations along the route. After the race, runners and their families can gather around a community bonfire and enjoy a pancake breakfast, enhancing the autumn celebration.
