Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Run
Race Information
The Pumpkin Run has been a tradition in Half Moon Bay for over four decades and takes participants along the beautiful Coastal Trail overlooking the Pacific Ocean. All proceeds benefit Senior Coastsiders, a local non-profit dedicated to providing opportunities, support, and resources for older adults living on the coast from Montara to Pescadero and Skyline to the Sea.
Race options include in-person 5k, 10k, and 1/2 Marathon (1/2 marathon is on 10% trail) races and a 0.5-mile kids' Fun Run. Virtual events are also available.
