Morton Pumpkin Classic

The Morton Pumpkin Classic, held in Morton, Illinois, is a popular event during the Morton Pumpkin Festival. It features a flat 10K race and a 2-mile untimed fun run/walk, both starting in town and finishing on Jefferson Street at the festival's heart. The 2-mile walk welcomes participants of all ages and abilities, including strollers and wheelchairs, but excludes pets and rollerblades.

After the race, runners and walkers enjoy a post-race party with beverages, snacks, music, and the festival's famous pumpkin donuts. Awards include pumpkin finisher medals for 10K finishers and pumpkin pies for top age group winners, with a free breakfast coupon included for all participants.
