All ages: Get ready to race the trails!

First Light Racing is hosting the ever-popular Pumpkinpalooza Trail Run on Sunday, October 19.

5k  |  10k   |  Half Marathon  |  Kids Run

Let your kids run on our short Kids Course!  What you need to know:  This will be a $5 entry to ensure everyone has signed a waiver.  This means you can run your Half Marathon and then run an extra 0.5 (ish)K (or just watch them run) to help your biggest fan earn a wooden finisher medal of their own. They will receive a finisher award and a number to run with.  This will not be officially timed with chips.

Come ride with us!

Join the College Station Composite team for a morning of fun at Millican Reserve’s annual Pumpkinpalooza. This try-it-out ride is the perfect opportunity for 5th–12th grade students and their families to experience the joy of mountain biking and connect with our local team.

We’ll start with some fun icebreaker games and then head out for a relaxed, group-based trail ride suited for all skill levels. Riders will be grouped appropriately to ensure a safe and welcoming experience for everyone.

The rain date, if needed, will be the following weekend. Pumpkinpalooza is a rain-or-shine event, but in the case of severe weather the festival will be rescheduled for the following weekend. All tickets will automatically transfer to the new date; tickets are non-refundable. Updates will be shared on the Pumpkinpalooza website and social media channels.

Bring yourself and all your friends! AND … depending on the October weather, you may also want sunscreen, sunglasses, or … sometimes … a jacket. You may also need your wallet so that you can pay for wristbands, food, and pumpkins with cash or credit card.

We encourage you to support our local food trucks which will have delicious menu options available. Please do not bring your own food.

Children under the age of 4 may enter Pumpkinpalooza for free. Children between the ages of 4 and 12 must purchase a ticket to enter and will receive a pie pumpkin for painting, or for “pumpkin chunkin”.

During Pumpkinpalooza Weekend, tickets are available at the gate.  Tickets are non-refundable and will automatically transfer if the event is rescheduled due to weather. Annual paid Conservancy members have a limited number of Pumpkinpalooza tickets included with their membership.

Friendly, leashed dogs are welcome. Pumpkinpalooza is a lively, family-focused festival, and well-behaved dogs on a leash are invited to join the fun. For everyone’s safety, dogs that are aggressive, disruptive, or uncomfortable in an active environment will be asked to leave with their owners. Please come prepared to pick up after your pet.  If your pup doesn’t do well with crowds, noise, or other animals, we recommend leaving him at home.

There are many ways to stay informed about Pumpkinpalooza! This website is updated periodically, so check it often. Be sure to follow Pumpkinpalooza on social media and sign up to receive the latest updates. Find us on Facebook and mark yourself as “going’ on our Facebook event.
