30 Days to the Dash!


The Official Pumpkin Dash 5k Training Challenge

30 Days. Your Pace. Your Progress. One BIG Thanksgiving Finish!

Get ready for the Pumpkin Dash 5k with 30 Days to the Dash! — a fun, motivating way to stay active, build confidence, and get excited for race day!

Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or someone preparing to walk your very first 5k, this challenge is for YOU!

Starting 30 days before Thanksgiving, use our RunSignup training log to track your miles, celebrate your progress, and stay motivated as we count down to the big day.

Here's how it works:

  • Get Moving! Walk, jog, or run at your own pace.
  • Log Your Miles! Record your daily activity in RunSignup and watch your progress grow.
  • Stay Consistent! Every workout counts, whether it's one mile or five.
  • Build Your Confidence! Arrive on Thanksgiving morning feeling ready to tackle the Pumpkin Dash 5k.
  • This isn't about being the fastest. It's about showing up, staying active, and making progress — one step at a time!

And when Thanksgiving morning arrives, you'll have something extra to celebrate. Not only will you cross the Pumpkin Dash finish line, but you'll know that you put in the effort to get there.
