On October 3, 2026, gather at Rose Tree Park in Media, Pennsylvania for the Lisa's Army Pumpkins in the Park 5K. This heartwarming event offers more than just a run; it’s an opportunity to celebrate life and support those battling cancer through fun-filled activities. The day kicks off with early morning registration starting at 8:00 AM, allowing participants plenty of time to get settled before the festivities begin. The highlight for many is undoubtedly the Inflatable Costume Run, a 200-meter dash that invites everyone—from kids to adults—to show off their creative Halloween costumes and compete for prizes. For those looking for longer distances, the main event features a scenic 5K run set around Rose Tree Park’s picturesque trails. The course weaves through lush greenery, offering runners an invigorating experience amidst beautiful fall foliage. Accompanying this is a one-mile walk designed to be accessible and enjoyable for all ages. Newly introduced this year is the Comfort Mile, where participants can honor loved ones affected by cancer along dedicated signage throughout the route. This meaningful tribute serves as both a memorial and a call to action, fostering unity and support among community members who have faced or are currently facing the challenges of cancer. Beyond the races, families will enjoy a range of activities including a pumpkin patch, food trucks offering delicious treats, and games for children. A special dog walk is also scheduled, inviting furry friends to join in on the fun. Costumes are highly encouraged at this event, with prizes awarded for best individual costume, team costumes, and kid-friendly ensembles. Whether you’re dressed up as a superhero or spooky creature of the night, everyone can participate in the joyous spirit of Halloween while raising awareness and funds for those battling cancer. With day-of registration available on-site starting from 8:00 AM, there’s no better time than now to mark your calendar and join this uplifting celebration.
