Join us for our favorite fall family event!
Saturday, October 21
9:00 am - noon
Lancaster County Central Park
Bring the whole family and invite your friends for this beloved tradition! A fall festival with games, inflatables, activities, food, a "Tot Trot" for little ones and a timed one-mile fun run race make for a memorable morning. But the biggest question of the day is: WHO WILL BEAT THE PUMPKIN?
Lancaster County Central Park

WJTL Kids' Cookie Break will be LIVE on location with a Pop Up Party!
$8 per runner
(Children up to 6th grade running in either Tot Trot or one-mile race)
Fall fest activities, including games and inflatables, are free.
Food available for purchase (cash only or FACTS PrePaid account payment) on site.
Parents are permitted to run with younger children if they wish.
Kids will run a one-mile, pre-marked cross country course, along with "The Pumpkin" (a school staff member or varsity cross country runner dressed as the eponymous gourd). Cross country team members and adults will be stationed along the course for direction and encouragement.
The Tot Trot for children under 5 is a simple 100 yard sprint race with the pumpkin, after which children get a prize.
Medals are awarded to the top 10 boy and top 10 girl finishers . Go get that pumpkin!
See if you can pass The Pumpkin during our races!
Enjoy face painting, food for purchase, and more at our fall fest.
Try your hand at one of our carnival-style games (all free to participate) and jump to your heart's content on our inflatables!
This event it open to the public! Even if you're not part of the Veritas Academy school community, we welcome your family to come run and play and enjoy the fun!
