Bloomington Montessori Fall Fun Run 5K Trail Race and Family Fun Run 2026

The Bloomington Montessori Fall Fun Run is a 5K trail race in Bloomington, Indiana, hosted at Fowler Pumpkin Patch prior to the school's Fall Fest. It originated as a family activity for Bloomington Montessori School and has expanded to include the public, with shorter one- or 1.5-mile family fun run routes commencing shortly after the 5K. The event maintains a school-community atmosphere: check-in begins in the morning, ABTiming handles the race timing, and volunteers assist with check-in and course guidance. Participants receive snacks and water upon finishing, the top three 5K runners are awarded medals, and all participants receive a T-shirt designed by a BMS parent. The run also functions as a fundraiser for the school, with past contributions supporting costs such as AEDs.
