The Lucky Pumpkin 5K Run/Walk to benefit Ireland's Dream

About the event

Join us for our 10th annual event!

 

Ireland's Dream is a 501c3 that supports children and families living with cerebral palsy. We are building a therapy center with state of the art care that is oftentimes not covered by insurance, but will be accessible by all. We don't want financial struggles to prevent any child from getting therapy that will further their physical abilities.

 

Why the Lucky Pumpkin? Because the first 20 runners to pass through the finish line get to take home a pumpkin. One of the pumpkins will win the lucky prize! Join us for the fun! Please note: You MUST be present to win the prize! The lucky winner will be announced at the awards ceremony. 

 

Pricing: $35 until 9/28. $40 from 9/29 to 10/4. $45 on race day. Bibs are non-transferable!

Family pricing - Register 3 or more people at the same time and save $5 per person!

 

Be sure to register early, the price will increase the day of the race. Online registration only. 

 

Awards: Finishers Medals for everyone! Age group medals: 9 and under, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, and 70+...divided into female and male
