48th Annual Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Run
Presented by Senior Coastsiders
The Pumpkin Run, a tradition in Half Moon Bay for over four decades, treats participants to a majestic course which runs along the Coastal Trail. Portions of the course hug the coastline along the Pacific Ocean. All proceeds benefit Senior Coastsiders, a local non-profit dedicated to providing opportunities, support, and resources for older adults living on the coast from Montara to Pescadero and Skyline to the Sea.
*This event is NOT a dog-friendly event due to insurance reasons.
Please leave your pooch at home.*

Virtual Events:
Can't join us in person this year? We still have the virtual option! Virtual participants have the option of running or walking more than one event! In The Pumpkin Run Trifecta, you can run or walk all three events any time during the event period. Not ready for a half-marathon? Try the Pumpkin Run Double Trouble by completing both the 5K and 10K at any point during the event period. Bundles also come with a price break!
Participants will be able to see how they stack up against other finishers by uploading their times via the ASICS Runkeeper App, manually, or using any other run tracker app and will be able to print a Finisher Certificate.
Complete your event anytime between registration open and October 17th, 2026 (you can do it all in one day or spread it across the weeks leading up to October 17, 2026). If you complete your virtual event weeks or months in advance of the October 4, 2026 registration date cutoff*, you will obtain your race packet along with the other pre-registrants at that time as we will not have packets ready until the week of October 1st.
*All virtual registrations must be completed no later than midnight, October 4th in order to obtain race packet before October 17th! There are no guarantees that your packet will arrive in time prior to October 17th if you register after October 4th.
