Pumpkinman's 20th Anniversary — Help Us Write the Next Chapter

For 20 years, Pumpkinman has donated over $435,000 to community causes. That’s something worth protecting.

In 2026, we are encouraging all participants to support The Marshwood Education Foundation — a local nonprofit that provides grants to teachers and students for innovative opportunities that fall outside the regular school budget.

TWO WAYS TO HELP

• Make a donation: Any amount, right here, right now. Every dollar goes directly to MEF.
• Create a fundraiser: Set up your own fundraising page, share it with your friends and family, and let your community rally behind your race.

FUNDRAISING REWARDS

• Raise $150+: A fundraiser bracelet and an exclusive upgraded swag bag.
• Raise $250+: Everything above, plus a special 20th Anniversary Pumpkinman hat.
• Raise $500+: Become a Legend with recognition in the celebration zone.
• Surprises: We’ll keep adding local products and partner goodies to the fundraising tiers as we go.

NEW FOR 2026: THE GRATEFUL MILE

A dedicated section of the course where you run for someone you love — guided by signage, prompts, and purpose. The most emotional mile of race day. A Run Grateful experience. rungrateful.com

THE COURSE

Our beautiful back roads of Maine with the seacoast's best scenery. The course includes a legendary 250-meter hill climb from the water exit to bike transition — a replica of the local Powderhouse Hill. You’ll be cheered on by locals and supported by the best volunteers in the business.
