Saratoga Bridges’ 21st Annual Great Pumpkin Challenge

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Out of an abundance of caution, Saratoga Bridges will host their 21st Annual Great Pumpkin Challenge virtually again this year. This popular community event features a 5K and 10K with proceeds benefiting their essential non-funded or underfunded services and assisting with the unanticipated expenses incurred by the pandemic. 

The organization invites the community to join them to run, walk, & move “Together But Apart.” By being virtual, the 5K and 10K can be run, jogged, or walked anywhere and anytime between Oct. 16 and Oct. 30. Although they do not have an official course this year, participants can stay on their Saratoga State Park course – https://bit.ly/2SOK1a1 – and look for the designated mile markers. Otherwise, www.mapmyride.com provides alternative routes. They encourage people to drive the route first to check the safety of the shoulders and sight lines. 

Individuals, friends, families, coworkers, and corporate are welcomed to register at tinyurl.com/SBGPC21 and receive a long-sleeve moisture wicking shirt. Once finished, participants need to report their time by Oct. 31. Race shirts can be picked up at the administrative office (16 Saratoga Bridges Boulevard, Ballston Spa; M-F 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Please use their official hashtag #SBGPC21 and tag them @saratogabridges. Prizes will be awarded for: Most Business Team Participants, Most Family Team Participants, and Most Spirited Participants.
