The popular 5K race, begins at 12th Avenue and Moreno Street and winds through scenic and historic East Hill, and attracts close to 1,200 participants each year. Proceeds from the race benefit the Sacred Heart Cathedral School and are used to contribute to the capital improvements of the buildings and grounds.
Overall male and female winners receive a $100 cash prize and the top three runners in each division receive a Gold, Silver or Bronze medal. All runners participating in the 1-mile Little Pumpkin Fun Run receive an “I did it!” participation ribbon.
In addition, you can find “goodies” with your race materials. There is always plenty of the locally-famous Pumpkin Bread for re-fueling and fantastic door prizes following the race.
