# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Jack-O-Lantern 5K & 10K
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 08:00 am (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: For 2026, Jack-O-Lantern 5K & 10K will be celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America. This theme will carry through out the race event. The races will be along the scenic Upper Bucks Rail Trail in the Quakertown area. The Pumpkin Challenge was a huge success last year, and it is sure to sell out again. Be sure to check out the family friendly pricing. The Knights of Columbus – Quakertown and Richland Township Fire & Rescue present this year’s race. Proceeds will be directed to the new Richland Township Fire & Rescue to help with the cost of 1 set of turn out gear. One complete set can cost up to $15,000.

Start Time:           
We will start the 5K and 10K races at 8 am. Pace times will be posted in the start area to help runners self seed themselves so we do not need a wave start. The event is chipped timed. The start and finish lines will be on the Upper Bucks Rail Trail. Both races will head south towards Veterans Park. 

Student Pricing:           
We know races can be expensive, that is why we are going to continue reducing or eliminating fees for those 19 years old and younger. We will split up the under 19 Age Group into 10 to 19 and Under 10.  Anyone age 10 to 19 will pay half price the regular adult cost. The Pumpkin Challenge can still be added on at the $6 additional cost. Anyone 9 years old will be free! Yes, free for both the 5K and 10K. They will receive only a shirt and are not eligible for the Pumpkin Challenge for their safety. 

Pumpkin Challenge:           
If you are looking to take home a pumpkin and an added prize, this may be the thing for you. You can add the pumpkin challenge to your race registration fee. By participating in the challenge, you will get to pick your choice of pumpkin weighing between 2 to 5 lb. from our patch. You will need to carry the pumpkin the entire race and bring it back in 1 piece. If successful, you get to keep your pumpkin and receive a Pumpkin Challenge finisher prize. No carrying devices allowed (infant carriers, etc.). Runners under the age of 9 are unable to participate in this challenge.
