In It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, Linus spends most of the movie patiently waiting in a pumpkin patch for the Great Pumpkin to arrive with gifts for all the good boys and girls.
While he misses out on trick-or-treating and the Halloween party, his good friend Charlie Brown comes to find him in the cold, dark night and safely bring him home. Linus holds onto hope that next year he’ll find a better pumpkin patch, while the audience knows he’s got a steadfast friend who’ll be there to rescue him—just in case.
Well, you are definitely worthy of a great time at The Great Pumpkin Run (which was known as Run Like Hell previously). This event has is in Sellwood now, but still features the same great costumes and prizes. Distance options include the Haunted Half Marathon, a Terrifying 10k, a Freaky 5k, and the Goblin Kids Run.
The races are all out-and-backs with the start/finish at Sellwood Riverfront Park. All participants receive a shirt, finisher medal, and treats at the end. And those who participate in costume have a chance at extra prizes.
