Ivoryton Pumpkin Chase

The Ivoryton Pumpkin Chase is a 5K road and trail race held in Ivoryton, Connecticut, benefiting the Ivoryton Library. Taking place during the peak foliage season of southern New England, the course starts on North Main Street, then moves onto Falls River Drive before entering the Falls River Preserve for a 1.1-mile trail loop. The trail features a mix of double track and hilly, rocky single track with natural obstacles like jagged rocks and roots, requiring caution, especially in wet conditions.

The event also includes a Kids Fun Run. The race promotes sustainability as a zero-waste event, encouraging participants to bring water bottles. Awards are given by overall and age group categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
