That&#39;s something worth protecting.</p> <p>As we celebrate 20 years, one thing is clear: if Pumpkinman is going to thrive beyond year 20, it has to create even more impact — more meaning, more support, and more good than ever before. That starts right here.</p> <p><strong>In 2026, we are encouraging all participants to support The Marshwood Education Foundation — a local nonprofit that provides grants to teachers and students for innovative opportunities that fall outside the regular school budget.</strong></p> <p>Two ways to help:</p> <p>Make a donation — any amount, right here, right now. Every dollar goes directly to MEF.</p> <p>Create an individual fundraiser — set up your own fundraising page, share it with your friends and family, and let your community rally behind your race.</p> <p><span style="font-size:14pt"><strong>If you decide to jump in and do some good along the way, here&#39;s what you get to unlock:</strong></span></p> <p>Raise $150&#43; A fundraiser bracelet to proudly wear that gives you access to the<span style="font-size:14pt"><strong> BRAND NEW FUN-Raiser Lounge at the finish, </strong></span>plus an exclusive upgraded swag bag filled with curated goodies from local merchants and partners you won&#39;t find in the regular race swag bags</p> <p>Raise $250&#43; Everything above, plus a special 20th Anniversary Pumpkinman hat you can&#39;t buy anywhere else</p> <p>Raise $500&#43; and become a Legend Everything above, plus Legend of the 20th recognition and special recognition in the celebration zone</p> <p><strong>And because this is brand new, we&#39;ll keep adding surprises, local products, and partner goodies to the fundraising tiers as we go.</strong></p> <p>Every dollar you raise or donate helps ensure that Pumpkinman doesn&#39;t just celebrate 20 years — it builds toward 20 more.</p> <p> <br />NEW FOR 2026: THE GRATEFUL MILE<br />A dedicated section of the course where you run for someone you love — guided by signage, prompts, and purpose.
