Get ready for a spooktacular morning at the 2025 Pumpkin Run 5K on Saturday, Oct. 18, hosted by the Northwest Family YMCA.

Little ghouls and goblins can start the day with the one-mile Kids’ Fun Run, then enjoy a fall festival featuring the YMCA Spooky Bus, bounce house, and arts + crafts.

Bonus: 5K participants will receive a commemorative medal and T-shirt. All proceeds go towards the YMCA’s annual campaign, which supports programs that strengthen the community.
