We welcome you to the 15th edition of our great event which we continue to hold at the Walnut Beach Pavilion! Because the race is in October, the Fall leaves will have begun to change. It's a beautiful time of year to get out and enjoy the crisp air. And you'll be helping an amazing cause!
We're also bringing back our exciting gift certificate raffle this year that will include many local restaurants.

There is plentiful parking available in the Beach parking lot.
This Year's Project:
A Rwimi secondary school with about 2,000 girls and boys have depended on a very dangerous stream to provide their water needs. The stream has claimed the lives of several students and locals as they stooped to fetch the dirty water. We can help by drilling a new well and constructing a water delivery system. With your assistance we can change the lives of so many.
The areas where we drill our wells are very rural. Kids typically walk miles each day to and from the watering hole to fetch water for drinking, bathing and cooking. Unfortunately, the villagers share the water source with various animals so they have to boil it before using it. With your help, we can make this possible!
As always your contributions are fully tax deductible. We are approved by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) organization.
Events:

We are planning a party and we hope you'll be part of it.
Our food has always been a large part of the attraction.

5k COURSE - https://onthegomap.com/s/a8jgjd8a
you can run it, walk it, or any combination thereof. It has some hills,
flat spots, and a GREAT DOWNHILL from 1 mile to 1.3mi that everyone seems to forget about...
it is Trumbull so enjoy the scenery.
This course is actually a throwback. Over 75% of it is from the original 1991 course!
It has some changes (at the suggestion of the TPD)
and it does bring back the famous "Laurie Rd hill" that will challenge you in the last mile.
But don't worry, the last 6/10 mi is downhill and flat!
NOTE- due to safety issues or a lack of volunteers there may not be any water stop on the course with open water cups.
Please be prepared to pre-hydrate and carry your own fluids and NOT drop anything along our neighborhood!
The 1.7mi non-timed walk only course- https://onthegomap.com/s/3bu3pkfo
It’s PRETTY DARN FLAT the whole way!
The kids runs are on the track! YES, THE TRACK IS STILL FLAT

A BIT OF HISTORY-
The temperature was in the low 60's, warm for a late Fall run. It started at 10 am on Sunday, Oct 27, 1991,
with Biology Teacher (now retired) Marty Schaivone yelling "GO!". The inaugural 5k run had 349 finishers-
a very high number for a new, local event.
Pat Swift and Allison Suchenski (Trumbull High alum) were the inaugural champions.
Within a few years, it became one of the top races in CT reaching a high of over 800 registrations in the late '90s.
It was redesigned as a four mile course in 1993 to acommodate a unique State Championship and stayed that way till 2016.
Featured runners included the iconic Bill Rogers, top American Laura Mykotok, two Olympians, and champions from six different countries!
Residents from nearly all 169 towns in CT have finished our event. It also played host to an amazing
“Marisa’s Restaurant Community Pasta Party” the night before for over 10 years.
THANK YOU ALL- As we celebrate our 36th year we thank our past and current school administrators,
faculty, students, neighbors, and friends who have contributed immeasurably.

We purchase shirts, bibs, pins, etc., at least two weeks in advance. We pay nonrefundable deposits
on some items and buy food and fluids ahead of time.
IF THE PUMPKIN GOES VIRTUAL
This will occur only if mandated by Federal, State, Local, or School administrators. Your health and safety are our top priority.
We understand that this event has a great impact on the community, supports many wonderful causes, and is great for the town of Trumbull.
We encourage you to participate this year in a meaningful way and do so on your own terms.
You may decide to go virtual on your own though you entered to run or walk in person.
If you chose to do this you will be able to enter your time and see where you stack up! Just let us know.
If you decide on your own to participate in a virtual form we would still appreciate it if you could pick up your swag ahead of time.
It is difficult and very costly to mail these items. We will do our best to drop off locally after the event.
MSRP helps to direct over 30 other events which raised over $250,000 for charities last year.

Other races in the area include the Colony Grill Hot Oil 5K, the Bigelow Tea 5K, and the Beach Bunny 5K in Fairfield.
