Pumpkins in the Park 5K

The Pumpkins in the Park 5K is a family-friendly, Halloween-themed running event held at Cobbs Hill Park in Rochester, NY. The race features a scenic, USATF-certified 5K course that winds through the Cobbs Hill neighborhood, including a climb up the reservoir and finishes with a downhill stretch onto grass near the softball fields. A kids' 1/2 mile race is also offered on a grassy loop near the softball fields, designed for children ages 4-12.

Participants are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes, and all finishers receive medals. The event offers both in-person and virtual participation options, with awards for top finishers and age groups in the 5K. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
