Kent Pumpkin 5 Miler

The 36th running of the Kent Pumpkin 5 Miler offers something for everyone! The festivities begin with a Kids Fun Run followed by the 5 mile run/walk. Join the festivities at the start finish area -- Music, refreshments (including Billy's famous Pumpkin Soup!), face painting, Halloween fun and much more. It's a Post race party for all, held strategically in the fall when Connecticut foliage has turned the landscape more beautiful than any painting could convey.

Course Description

Expect to see a few pumpkin heads in the race. The course is not too long, and not too short. The Fall colors are spectacular as you wind through narrow tree-lined streets past beautiful homes and gardens. It's more a fun run than race, but if you have never seen the east coast between Autumn and Fall, this event is a must-run.

“"My favorite is the Kent Pumpkin run 5 miler in Kent, CT. I like the town; the course is scenic, and you can park pretty easily very close to the start," says runner Joseph LeMay. "And you get a nice mug if you're in the top 3 in your age group."”
