The Pumpkin Pacer is a fun 5k trail run/walk/hike through scenic Wrentham conservation land and White Barn Farm property and is the final race in the Farm to Table 5K Series! It is open to all ages and skill levels. The Pumpkin Pacer rolls around just in time to celebrate the year's bounty. All of the long, hot days in the field culminating into the rewards of the harvest. Participants are sure to be met by a quintessential New England collage of color and refreshingly crisp autumn air! (Did someone mention participant halloween costume contests?) And our concurrent Harvestween event offers fall and Halloween fun for the whole family. This event celebrates and supports the sustainability of local agriculture and land management by funding our mission to preserve open land and food security for our communities.

This is an off-road trail race. Course terrain includes dirt and/or gravel paths, rocks, roots, and inclines and declines in elevation. It's a fun course that we think you will really enjoy! The course will be clearly marked and course marshals will be stationed along the race. A water station will be located at about the halfway point. This is a cup-less race, please bring your own water carriers. This race is not conducive for strollers!
