Presented with Support from In-Shape Fitness
We’re excited to have In-Shape Fitness supporting the inaugural Linden Blooms Pumpkin 5K!
In-Shape Fitness will join us on race morning for the Start Line Warm-Up and to cheer participants across the In-Shape Fitness Finish Line.
And there’s something worth running for! The top three finishers will each receive a complimentary one-month In-Shape Fitness membership.
Costumes Encouraged!
It wouldn’t be the Pumpkin 5K without costumes!
Come dressed to run, walk, or simply make everyone smile. We’ll celebrate some of our favorite looks after the race with the Pumpkin 5K Costume Contest.
Costumes are encouraged but not required.
A 5K for Everyone
The Pumpkin 5K is a fun run and walk, so you don’t need to be an experienced runner to participate. Run it, walk it, or do a little of both.
Distance: 5 kilometers / 3.1 miles
The Course: The 5K takes participants on 3.5 loops around the Linden Blooms home ranch walnut orchard before finishing at the In-Shape Fitness Finish Line. This is a working orchard, so expect a true country course! The route is primarily uneven dirt roads, and conditions may vary with the weather. Please choose footwear accordingly.
Children: Absolutely! Children are encouraged to participate. All participants on the 5K course must be registered for the race. Children riding in a stroller who will not independently participate in the 5K do not need to register.
Strollers: Strollers are welcome, but please keep in mind that this is True Country! The course travels through the orchard on uneven dirt roads, so we recommend a stroller designed to handle rough terrain.
Pets: Unfortunately, pets of any kind are not permitted at Linden Blooms. Trained service animals are, of course, welcome.
Rain or Shine
A little country weather won’t stop us!
The Linden Blooms Pumpkin 5K is a rain-or-shine event, so come prepared for the conditions. Remember that the course travels through a working orchard on dirt roads, and conditions may be dusty, muddy, or uneven depending on the weather.
Cancellation, Refunds & Transfers
Race registrations are nonrefundable.
Can’t make it after all? Registration transfers are welcome. Participants may transfer their registration to another person by emailing hello@chinchiolofarming.com.
Race registrations cannot be transferred to a future Linden Blooms event or exchanged for Linden Blooms admission or store credit.
