Sunday, November 8th in Kennebunk, Maine & around the globe virtually! Registration is now open! Join us for an unforgettable event the whole family will enjoy along the scenic coast of southern Maine! Proceeds from this event will go towards METAvivor to support stage 4 breast cancer research, Dana Farber Cancer Institute to support pediatric cancer research and to Cancer Can Suck a Cactus to support our mission to foster a global community that empowers and enables exercise—because research has shown that cancer hates exercise (read why here).

Online registration for the Great Pumpkin 10K is now open. The first 100 entrants for the in-person race receive a long-sleeve race shirt. We're also offering a virtual option, with no shirt. Race-day registration and bib pickup is outside Huot's Seafood Restaurant on Eastern Avenue in Camp Ellis, which is where the finish line is located. The start is about four-tenths of a mile away, at the corner of Seaside Avenue and Ferry Road (Route 9), so you'll want to arrive early enough to give yourself time to get to the start. As usual, proceeds will benefit two charities – the American Lung Association of New England/Trek Across Maine and Maine Adaptive Sports & Recreation.

Please join us at the beautiful Emmons Preserve in Kennebunkport for the 4th Annual Holistic Hustle.

Course features breathtaking view of Acadia National Park and Maine’s rocky coastline. It is a Spectacular 13.1 mile course traveling on the scenic Acadia National Park Loop road. The third largest island on the eastern seaboard, Mount Desert Island boasts an impressive 41,000 acres of land devoted to the Northeast’s only National Park, Acadia - an amazing array of mountains and sea, cliffs and coastline. *** There is NO RACE DAY packet pickup. *** The Mount Desert Island YMCA is committed to environmentally conscious and sustainable racing, as our course travels through Acadia National Park.

For 2026, we are encouraging participants to bring their own reusable cup, handheld water bottle or hydration pack. We will still have paper cups at all 6 water stations this year, but with your help we can start reducing our waste and impact
