Great Pumpkin Classic

The Great Pumpkin Classic is an annual running event held in Trumbull, Connecticut, celebrating its 35th year in 2025. The event features a 5K run or walk for all ages, a 1.7-mile untimed health walk, and kids' fun runs on a flat track for children 12 and under. The 5K course, largely based on the original 1991 route, includes some hills and a notable downhill section, offering scenic views of Trumbull.

The race supports the Trumbull High School Scholarship Foundation and local PTSA, having raised over $335,000 in scholarships. Post-race festivities include pancakes, cider donuts, and awards sponsored by local businesses, creating a festive and community-focused atmosphere.
