26th Annual Great Pumpkin Challenge

Run, walk, or ride! Join us this year for Saratoga Bridges' 26th Annual Great Pumpkin Challenge! Our 5K/10K in the scenic Saratoga Springs Spa State Park is the perfect way to welcome autumn and make memories with your family and friends. The event is packed with activities for all ages. Vote in the pumpkin decorating contest, show off your best look in our costume contest, or simply enjoy seasonal treats and refreshments. The main races, including both the 5K and 10K courses, take you through the beautiful fall foliage and winding park trails. End the day with our energetic Kids’ Fun Run, where young racers dash to the finish line and earn a prize. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or just here to cheer, there’s truly something for everyone to enjoy!

It’s a wonderful day that supports a great cause! By participating, you help fund vital programs and services. These efforts make a positive difference in our community. Bring your friends, family, and enthusiasm, and help us celebrate inclusion, fun, and the spirit of giving back!
