Submitted by Allison Behnke, HKYFS

(September 16, 2024) — Every Fall runners, walkers, and families look forward to the traditional Haddam-Killingworth Youth and Family Services (HKYFS) Pumpkin Run, a 5k run, walk, and kids run in picturesque Higganum. This event is perfect for all ages and fitness levels. It’s all about fun, family, community and friendly competition.

This year, the 31st Annual Pumpkin Run will be held on Sunday, October 27, 2024 beginning at Haddam-Killingworth High School. The 5k and walk kick off at 10:00 a.m. and the Kids Fun Run follows at approximately 11:15 a.m.  On site registration will be available starting at 8:00 a.m.

There will be activity tables for kids with games and crafts hosted by local sports leagues, businesses, and organizations. Highlights also include:  T-shirts for the first 250 registered runners, HK youth-designed finisher medal for all, costume contests, face painting, live music from School of Rock in Madison, a DJ, fresh Apple and Pumpkin Fritters, and more!

To top it all off, the HKYFS Girls on the Run Team created beautiful hand-made Top Finisher prizes for all age categories,  adding to the personal touch and infusion of positive youth development. This promises to be a beautiful run, but also a very fun Halloween event connecting community members of all ages! Runner registration is open at www.hkyfs.org

HKYFS relies on donations and sponsorships to provide programs, services, and support to our youth and families.  Sponsorships are still being accepted, with a variety of levels to include promotion of your business, by contacting HKYFS (860) 345-7498 or events@hkyfs.org.

The Pumpkin Run is the biggest fundraising event for HK Youth and Family and it supports our work focusing on positive youth development, counseling, prevention, family programs, education, community support team, and more.  HKYFS is committed to providing resources and programs that empower young individuals to reach their full potential and keep them safe.  The money raised through the Pumpkin Run sponsorships and runner registrations is a meaningful way to support your local community and contribute to the well-being of youth and families in the area.

Don’t miss out on the “spooktacular” fun!  Get your family and friends together and let’s run for a cause.  It’s all treats and no tricks at the HKYFS Pumpkin Run.  See you there!
