3rd Annual Pumpkin Run 5K

The Savoy Gives Foundation for Mental Health, in partnership with Harwinton Parks and Recreation, is thrilled to celebrate the 3rd Annual Pumpkin Run 5K on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the Harwinton Recreation Complex, 100 Bentley Drive, Harwinton, CT.

This year’s race promises to be bigger than ever, bringing together families, athletes, and supporters for a professionally timed back roads 5K run/walk, plus a festive Kids Dash for children. The event kicks off with registration at 8:00 AM and the race starts at 9:00 AM. All runners will receive a sugar pumpkin at the finish line and an opportunity to enjoy a morning filled with fall fun, community spirit, and support for mental health. An exciting awards ceremony to follow the race, and complimentary breakfast for all runners and spectators courtesy of Crumbs by Toast & Co. and Harwinton Dunkin’.

Thank you to our Platinum Sponsor, Harwinton Electric, and all subsidiary sponsors who can be found on our registration website.

“Events like the Pumpkin Run show the power of community,” said Derek J. Savoy, President of The Savoy Gives Foundation. “Every runner, sponsor, and volunteer plays a role in raising awareness, reducing stigma, and funding mental health resources across Connecticut.”

Last year’s event drew more than 100 runners, and this year’s turnout is expected to surpass that milestone. Registration for both runners and sponsors is still open: https://runsignup.com/Race/CT/Harwinton/ThePumpkinRunHarwinton
