October is pumpkin month! Grab a pumpkin to tag along with you on your 5K and you'll earn the exclusive Tough Pumpkin medal. Here's how it works:
- Join the challenge
- Run or walk 3.1 miles this October while carrying a pumpkin of your choosing
- Commemorate your achievement with the Tough Pumpkin medal
Share your photos with fellow fall-natics by using #toughpumpkin on Instagram
Tips from Gourdy:
- Any size pumpkin counts
- Get some training miles in now while carrying a lighter fruit in preparation for challenge day
- Dress the part because running while carrying a pumpkin makes for great photos
- Medal doubles as a magnet so it's useful post-race day!
