What Happens in the Pumpkin Flag Race
The runner wears a rounded costume made of two pumpkin-shaped sections with vertical ribs. His headpiece resembles a carved lantern with eyes and a cheerful mouth, while his arms and legs extend from the outfit as he runs. He carries a tall pole topped by a small flag. Gentle hills stretch behind him, and separate pumpkins rest on the ground near the horizon.
Curious Facts About Pumpkin Races and Lanterns
Flags are often used in outdoor races to identify a course, signal a starting point, or mark the finish. A bulky costume can restrict a runner’s stride and view, so real costume events usually require an open path and careful movement. Traditional jack-o’-lantern faces are made by removing part of a pumpkin’s rind and pulp to form features.
