Gourdy's Pumpkin Run: Phoenix

Gourdy's Pumpkin Run: Phoenix takes place in Phoenix, Arizona, on November 14, 2026. The single format is a 5K Run or Walk (3.1 miles), starting at 9:00 AM. It is the Phoenix stop of the Gourdy's Pumpkin Run series, a fall-themed 5K built around pumpkins and seasonal fun.

Themed 5Ks like this one are as much about the atmosphere as the clock, which makes them a comfortable entry point if you have never raced before, and a fun outing for families and groups of friends. Walkers are welcome, so nobody has to run the whole way. If you would like to run it, a simple six-week plan of three short sessions a week, gradually replacing walking breaks with running, is enough to cover 3.1 miles. Faster runners can still use the morning as a solid effort, just be ready to weave around walkers in the opening stretch.
