The 10th Annual Alhambra Pumpkin Run & Halloween Festival Is Coming to Downtown Alhambra

What summons athletes and monsters alike to the streets of Alhambra every October? It’s the annual Alhambra Pumpkin Run and Halloween Festival!

Presented by the Downtown Alhambra Business Association and the City of Alhambra, the 10th anniversary of this exciting event will take place this year on Sunday, October 29.

The Alhambra Pumpkin Run hosts 10K, 5K, and 1K runs benefiting the Alhambra Educational Foundation—proceeds are donated to help local Alhambra schools thrive. The event begins at 7:45 AM and ends at 1:00 PM. The starting line is at the corner of 2nd Street and Main Street in front of Rick’s Burgers. The run travels west on Main to El Molino Ave, loops around back on Main to Chapel, and returns to Main and 2nd Streets for the festive finish line. The entire community is invited to cheer on the runners, and costumes are encouraged!

The Halloween Festival follows the run and features a Farmers Market, live music, a Beer Garden sponsored by Ohana Brewery, adult and kids costume contests, a “kids fun zone,” a petting zoo, and trick-or-treating on Main Street. The festival is located on 1st Street between Main Street and Commonwealth as a part of Alhambra’s weekly Farmers Market.
