Pumpkin Run

The Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Run is a beloved Coastside tradition, drawing runners and walkers from across the country for more than 40 years. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Pacific coastline, participants can choose from a 5K, 10K, or half marathon along the scenic Coastal Trail. Younger runners can join the fun, too, with a festive Kids Fun Run through the Hatch Elementary neighborhood. And of course—every participant takes home a pumpkin! More than just a race, the Pumpkin Run is a community-powered event that benefits Senior Coastsiders. Every registration directly supports programs and services that help older adults on the Coastside live independently, stay connected, and thrive. Join us on October 18 and be part of a meaningful tradition—run, walk, and make a difference for Senior Coastsiders.
