Mansfield Y Pump-Kin Run
The Mansfield Y Pump-Kin Run takes place on October 25, 2025, at the YMCA of North Central Ohio, Mansfield Branch, 750 Scholl Rd, Mansfield, OH 44907. The event offers two competition options: a combined bench-press plus 5K called the "Pump"-Kin Run and a 5K run only. Entry for each event is listed at $30.
Format, rules, and logistics
The "Pump"-Kin Run pairs a bench press portion with a 5K: each successful bench press rep deducts 30 seconds from the participant's 5K time, with a maximum deduction of 15 minutes (30 reps). Bench press weight requirements vary by age and gender. For men the required percentage of body weight is 100% (ages 39 and under), 90% (40–49), 80% (50–59), 70% (60–69), and 60% (70 and over). For women the required percentage is 70% (39 and under), 60% (40–49), 50% (50–59), and 40% (60 and over and 70 and over).
Top finishers are recognized in the following age divisions: 0–12, 13–15, 16–19, 20–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69, and 70+. Water and post-race snacks will be provided and an awards presentation will follow. Pre-race packet pickup is available Friday, October 24 or on the day of the event at the Mansfield YMCA. The YMCA will also host a Trunk n Treat with food trucks, crafts, and community organizations handing out candy to youth. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
