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 hill up to the reservoir and a downhill finish on grass near the softball fields. A Kids 1/2 Mile race for ages 4-12 takes place on a grassy loop by the softball fields.

Participants are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes, and finishers receive medals, with kids also getting candy bags and pumpkins. The event offers both in-person and virtual participation options and is part of the Fleet Feet Grand Prix Series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
