Run Your Gourd Off!

Run Your Gourd Off! is an annual running event held at Bishop’s Pumpkin Farm in Wheatland, California. The 2025 edition features a 5K Run/Walk, Kids' Pumpkin Dash events of 1 mile and ½ mile, and a Virtual 5K option. The scenic 5K course winds along dirt farm roads around cornfields, a giant pumpkin patch, and walnut orchards, offering a flat, trail-like experience with a bit of dust.

Participants enjoy free parking and the festive farm atmosphere, which includes hay rides, a cornfield maze, and other family-friendly activities. Proceeds benefit the Child Abuse Prevention Center, supporting child safety and family health programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
