Just received word from Dave Adams, Assistant Athletic Manager, that the 2009 Pumpkin Run and 1 Mile Fun Run will be held on Saturday, Oct. 31st in Mooresville, NC. The Pumpkin Run is an 8k that starts at the War Memorial Building and winds through residential sections of Mooresville. The route is generally flat, with one gradual uphill around mile three.

From personal experience, it's a friendly small race where you might stand a chance of getting an age group award. It's also conducive to running with a baby jogger.

And since it's on Halloween day, it's your chance to run in a costume without getting too much grief from your running buddies.
