On Saturday, Sept 27, 2025, our 5K will lead the Pumpkinfest Parade down South Lyon's Pontiac Trail through thousands of spectators lining the route . Registration, Start, and Finish are at Millennium Middle School at the south end of the track. Registration and packet pick up are near the 9 Mile Road Millennium parking lot/track. Packet pick up begins at 8 AM. Enter the track & field facility via the 9 Mile Road entrance
PLEASE NOTE: The Pumpkinfest Parade changed routes in 2024. As a result, parking has changed for the runners from earlier years. PLEASE PARK IN THE TEACHER'S PARKING LOT on the west end of Millennium near the track. Enter this parking lot from 9 MILE road. Last year's parking is now the staging area for the parade. Overflow parking will be at Centennial Middle School a short distance west of Millennium. Please note! Pontiac Trail will be shut down about 9:30 AM. You may need to get to the race via 9 Mile Road if you are arriving late.
Food & Awards & Tech Shirts are part of the experience. The actual race begins at 9:50 AM.
Participants will enjoy Tech T-shirts, age & gender grouped awards, and refreshments!
