ST. LOUIS EVENT DAY INFO

With cooler than anticipated weather, we have made a change to the event start time that will affect all runners. See below: 

– SHOWING UP
NOTE: We want to give our staff and runners a break and run when it’s a bit warmer. We have changed the start time of the run, and this change will affect all runners. Gates will open at 10:00 am and runners will load into the Start Chute at 11:00 am. You’ll want to show up ONE HOUR prior to your wave time to allow enough time for parking, bib pick-up, registration change, etc.  Event held rain or shine.

– REGISTRATION
PRINT a copy of your order confirmation email (or save it on your phone) for faster check-in. Bring your Photo I.D. along with your signed waiver to the registration tent.

Can’t find your confirmation? CLICK HERE to enter the email address affiliated with your registration purchase and it will be resent to you.

– PARKING
Parking is $10 cash per vehicle. You must park in our designated parking area only. No parking on streets, roads, or adjacent lots allowed. Absolutely no “walk-ins” from outside the designated event parking area will be permitted to participate in any Pumpkin Factor event, no exceptions.

– BAG CHECK
You may drop off any items you don’t want  lost at our Bag Check tent for $5 cash. Our bag check option is only available during the run and you must pick up you stuff within 30 minutes after the last runners have crossed the finish line. 

– MERCHANDISE
You may purchase or pick up your pre-ordered merchandise at the merchandise tent located in the festival area.  You MUST pick up pre-ordered shirts on event day. We do not ship, refund, or credit pre-paid merchandise.

– COME PREPARED
Bring water to hydrate before and after your run.  Pumpkin Factor provides water at the 1.6 and 3.2 mile mark to help quench your thirst.  Please take only one cup per pass and do not use the drinking water as a rinse station.
