The 8th Annual Pumpkin Run continues the tradition of blending
friendly competition with casual and family oriented fun. The course
for this cross-country run is on the nordic ski trails at the
historic Leavenworth Ski Hill. The trails are wide (14') and consist
of grass, dirt and gravel. The fall colors should be in full glory
to provide that special splash of color to the beauty of Ski Hill.

bring out their best and most creative costume for the enjoyment of
all!
