"To say that Pumpkinman wins best post-race food is the understatement of a lifetime!"
Racing is fun, and winning is always my favorite result, but something about racing at Pumpkinman transcends the usual swim-bike-run contest. Even the fastest, most competitive athletes, are just having a great, fun time. Everybody is happy. Laughter is in the air. Sure, there’s a clock to beat, but that’s just one small detail. To me, Pumpkinman is everything great about grassroots triathlon, and at the end of the day, just a fantastic reminder that triathlon is supposed to be fun, a fact that is far too easy to forget at other races. I promise that if you put Pumpkinman on your race calendar next season, it will be the highlight of your season."

WE ARE VIRTUAL!! Ladies- this year, now more than ever, we need to join together virtually! The global pandemic has changed the way we do things, but we won't let it change our goals, or have us feel disconnected. I will not let the current state of the world keep us down. I am creating a virtual experience for all of you amazing women...we will have a virtual community from June-August each week as we inspire each other, lift each other's spirits and keep moving and working towards our personal goal! Get ready for one-of-a-kind commemorative swag, virtual meet-ups and more. You can feel confident knowing we've got your back during these unprecedented times. We will get through this together, and come out stronger than ever before!! Let's do this!!!!
Rick’s Run 5K was created in memory of Richard A. Roy. Rick was a Vietnam Veteran who served his country proudly, yet suffered from PTSD. Rick’s Run will be donating 100% of the proceeds to the Veterans Count program within the Easterseals organization.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming...
