Ready, Set, Run at Great Pumpkin 5K Events
Welcome fall with a Halloween costume and a run down Market Street Saturday.
The whole family can welcome fall bright and early Saturday at the fourth annual Anthem Great Pumpkin 5K and Kids Pumpkin Dash at Reston Town Center.
Registration and details for the 5K here.
The 5K is a traditional race, but walkers, joggers and runners are all welcome.
The Kids Pumpkin Dash, which starts at 9:45 a.m., is a straight shot down Market Street - and the kids usually wear their Halloween costumes, so it is a lot of fun for parents to watch. For registration info, click here.
Adults want to don costumes too? Then they should take part in the Pumpkin Smash Mile - a non-timed, mile long run for costumed entrants. Participants with the best costumes will be awarded prizes and honored by the Smash Mile committee.
The events all benefit the YMCA Fairfax County - Reston.
