About this race

This fall, the Montgomery Village Foundation is excited to introduce the Montgomery Village Jack-O-Lantern 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run! Enjoy a fun or competitive afternoon of running, walking, and community spirit with a twist – a costume contest!

Custom medals will be awarded to all participants! Sliders for the ribbon will be awarded to top 3 females and males in each of the age groups as well as to costume winners. Costumes are encouraged, but entirely optional!

The race will be held on Saturday, October 10th at Lake Marion Community Center, 8821 East Village Avenue, Montgomery Village and will feature professional chip timing provided by the Montgomery Road Runners Club (for the 5K only) as well as a free race shirt for the first 150 registrants!

Advanced registration is encouraged, but online registration will remain open through the start of the race. Late registration is online only through 7:30 AM from your computer or smartphone. Prices go up on race day, so register early & save!
