📋 Important Information

Due to the size of the race, we are requesting runners to pick up packets (race number - shirt - Halloween bag) at one of our 2 convenient locations on the 24th and 25th. Runners can pick up multiple packets for friends and family. The size of the race and items to be given will make a race day packet pick up very difficult for our volunteers and runners, so we ask everyone to attend early pickup to ensure race day goes smoothly for all. We understand some will not be able to make this and ask that you reach out to us. We will approve race day pickups on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding.

📝 What You Need to Pick Up Your Bib

Please print and bring your registration confirmation to packet pickup. You can also have this on your phone and even in your Apple Wallet, which will make it easy to find at check-in! At the top of your registration email, there is an icon "ADD TO APPLE WALLET" BUT if you are picking up for multiple people, it will be easier to have printed registrations for each person or have all in your Apple Wallet. It is important to have the barcode visible that is on your registration as this is how we check you in. Your registration confirmation was emailed to you after you signed up with the title of the email "The Running of the Pumpkins 5k Registration Confirmation". If you cannot locate this, you can have it resent to you simply by logging into WWW.RUNSIGNUP.COM and choosing my profile where you will see your current races. Choose Resend confirmation.
