Take your race to the next level at the Jack-O-Lantern 5K & 10K in Quakertown on Saturday, September 26th. For just $7, you can add our famous Pumpkin Challenge to your run.

Here is how it works:

Pick a 2 to 5 lb pumpkin from our patch.

Carry it for the ENTIRE 5K or 10K (no bags or infant carriers allowed!).

Cross the finish line with your pumpkin in one piece.

Keep your pumpkin AND earn an exclusive Finisher Prize.

Pumpkin Challenge spots DO sell out, and regular registration prices increase after September 7th.

Bring the whole family for this patriotic, USA 250th Anniversary-themed run. We offer half-price registration for ages 10-19, and kids under 10 run for free. Best of all, all proceeds support the Richland Township Fire & Rescue to help purchase much-needed turnout gear.

Secure your spot and your pumpkin before they are gone:

🆘 RACE ALERT! WE NEED A HERO! 🆘

Our upcoming 5k/10k race has a major hurdle—Quakertown is NOT able to sponsor our porta-potties and need a corporate sponsor! It will cost $1,000 to secure these vital "Pit Stops," and we are looking for a business to save the day.

This is a unique opportunity to get your brand seen and Really to get funds to the firehouse. In exchange for your sponsorship, we will:

🚽 Put your name/logo on all 8 porta-potties.
📢 Make announcements on race day.
🌐 Include you in our web listings and social media posts.

Be the relief our runners need! If you are interested in this exclusive "Pit Stop" sponsorship, please send us a message
