The Great Team Building Pumpkin Race

Start your engines—it’s gourd-geous team building at its finest!

Celebrate the spooky season with one of the most creative, quirky, and just plain fun Halloween experiences your team will ever have. In this high-energy event, teams build, decorate, and race their very own pumpkin cars in a festive showdown full of laughs, collaboration, and pumpkin-powered pride.

Ready, Set, Roll!

Forget Formula 1 and the Kentucky Derby—this is the only race that truly matters: The Great Pumpkin Race. Inspired by a beloved fall tradition celebrated across the U.S., this one-of-a-kind competition challenges teams to turn ordinary pumpkins into fully functioning race cars.

With guidance from our expert facilitators, teams will brainstorm fun themes, racer names, and even design their own sponsor logos (real or imagined!). Then it’s time to build and bling out your pumpkin racer using our easy-to-assemble kits—just bring your pumpkin and your creativity.

According to the official Pumpkin Race rules, each vehicle must be made from a real pumpkin and roll on two independent axles. Beyond that? The sky’s the limit.

Built with Purpose

Each race kit is thoughtfully packed by a neurodiverse team of young adults in transition programs across the country—adding an extra layer of meaning to this feel-good experience.

Let the Pumpkin Derby Begin

Your TeamBonding crew will be there to hype up the fun, assist with builds, and referee each race. Expect fast heats, creative flair, and plenty of cheer-worthy moments as teams compete for awards like:

• Best Pit Crew – for teamwork and collaboration

• Top Design – for style and creativity

• Fastest Pumpkin – for sheer speed and distance

• Grand Champion – the overall top racer!
