The Great Pumpkin Haul Colors In Fall Season

If someone asked you to run with a 15 lb. weight for fun, you may assume they are crazy. But if someone asked you to run with a 15 lb. pumpkin to celebrate the season, you’re attitude could quickly shift. Especially when you are joining hundreds of others for the Great Pumpkin Haul at the Chatfield Botanic Gardens. After picking out your precious orange cargo from the patch, you can either take part in a pumpkin bootcamp before the race or conserve energy for the trek. The two mile cross country course added in a few fun obstacles, including running over hay bells, through a makeshift spider web and hauling the pumpkin over head for certain parts of the race. Come the finish an after party complete with music and a costume contest wrapped up the run which benefits the Children’s Hospital. This is a definite race to keep on your radar for next year!
