About River Crossing YMCA Pumpkin Pie 5K Run

20th Annual Pumpkin Pie 5K Run November 26th 9 AM Start Time!

Pumpkin Pie 5K Run and 1.5 Mile Scenic Walk

The Lehigh Valley's biggest Thanksgiving Day Run tradition is back for the 20th anniversary on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026! 

This run supports the work of the Nazareth Branch of River Crossing YMCA and is an example of how we bring people, families, and communities together to live healthier lives-- while having a ton of fun! Your participation, support, and donations help make opportunities like this available to our entire community and help us promote Healthy Living, Youth Development, and Social Responsibility throughout our region.

We hit an all time record number of participants in 2025 and we look forward to taking it up another level this year.

The run will be held Thanksgiving morning on Thursday, November 26th. Bring your family, team, friends, and acquaintances out for a great morning run to burn the calories (and the stress) before the big meal. Cheer sections, volunteers, and sponsors needed!
