THE AMAZING GREAT PUMPKIN RACE

October 26, 2024 @ 10:00 am - November 26, 2024 @ 2:00 pm

Free
  • « Peggy Haas Howell Organ Recital
  • HumanKind Foster Care Trunk or Treat »

Get ready for The Amazing Great Pumpkin Race with our take on the Amazing Race! Be the first team to submit all qualified snapshots to claim the grand prize. Rally your squad of up to five members (families welcome), register with a catchy team name, and let the Great Pumpkin Challenge begin!
The Amazing Great Pumpkin Race is a walk through the park that includes both trail and some off-trail areas. Participants will need to bend down to look for clues and walk on grass. The activity involves light exercise, like walking, but doesn’t require jumping or running. Some people on teams might decide to run to try to finish first. This event is open to everyone and is designed for different physical abilities, but participants should expect some light physical activity and uneven ground. If anyone needs special accommodations, please contact Paula Kepel by email Paula.Kepel@gmail.com
