Join us on Saturday, September 28, 2024, for Gourdy’s ONLY Chicago-area Pumpkin Run.

There is no better place for a Pumpkin Run than Keller’s Farmstand – Oswego! Running (or even walking) on the 5K farm paths near Keller’s apple orchard, pumpkin patch, and play area is a FUN fitness test. While you’re making your way through genuine, working farm pathways, you can also plan the rest of your day – picking apples and pumpkins, enjoying unique Fall Festivities in the Farmland play area, exploring the secrets of the corn maze, and more!

Dust off your running shoes, grab your fitness and step tracker, create a safe training schedule – and you’ll be off and running.

All participants will receive the following:

  • Entry to the 5K run or walk (all ages and abilities welcome)
  • 2024 lightweight tech hoodie, perfect for fall running weather
  • 2024 finisher’s medal
  • Commemorative bib
  • Chip timing
  • Cup of apple cider at the finish line
  • Small pumpkin to take home
  • Entry to the farm's Fall Festivities* all day (Wagon rides begin after all races are finished)
  • Free parking

*All participants will receive free admission to Keller’s Farmstand Fall Festivities. Admission is good for the entire day and includes the 8-acre corn maze, farm animals, kids’ play area, and more. Don't leave without riding on our free tractor-drawn wagon ride which begins after all races are finished. We hope you can join us for a day of fun!

PLEASE NOTE: We do NOT allow pets on our farm!
