The 7th Annual Topeka South Rotary Pumpkin Run is quickly approaching. This is a fun, family friendly event with lot's of fun for all. This 5K run is for serious and casual runners. There is also a 5K walk for those less inclined to run. Everyone's encouraged to dress in your favorite Halloween attire. There will be a costume contest with a prize for one lucky adult and one lucky child. The run takes place at Lake Shawnee, Shelter House #1 at 8:30am on October 26, 2019.  If you would like to participate you can register HERE. Not interested in walking or running but don't want to miss out on any of the fun we still need volunteers! Contact Glenn Jagodzinske to volunteer.

We are currently seeking sponsors and volunteers for this year's Pumpkin Run. If you or your business is interested in sponsoring, please contact Roger Underwood.
