This family-friendly event invites runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to embrace the spirit of Halloween, offering both a spirited 5K run and a leisurely 1-mile fun walk. Participants are highly encouraged to unleash their creativity and don their most imaginative costumes, with exciting prizes awarded for the best male/female, best kids (under 12), best dog, and best group collaboration outfits. Typical race day conditions for late October in Kernersville offer pleasant running weather, with historical highs around 66F and lows near 43F, and only a 12% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal setting for an autumn race.

The 5K course promises a spirited challenge on a rolling road that winds through the heart of downtown Kernersville, starting and finishing at Harmon Park.

Beyond the exhilarating run and festive atmosphere, your participation supports a great cause, as a portion of the proceeds benefits the Kernersville Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to enhancing community services within Kernersville. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply enjoying a delightful stroll in costume, the Nailed It! Pumpkin Run offers a memorable experience that combines fitness, fun, and community support.
