About The Pretty Pumpkin

Hi, I'm Lauren, the creator and owner of The Pretty Pumpkin. My goal is to help you feel like a princess at your next race or fun run. The Pretty Pumpkin was born from a love of running and dressing up in fun costumes, so it could feel like Halloween every day! 

Running has been an important part of my life since my high school cross country days. But it wasn't until I found themed races where I found my true passion. When you look good, you perform good. I've ran some of my fastest times while decked out as a Snow Queen, Cookie Monster, Mrs. Claus and wearing a turkey tutu! And I hope you do too!

All The Pretty Pumpkin outfits and accessories are designed by me in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Most of the items are also handmade by me in my sewing studio, with a few pieces designed by me and fulfilled with the assistance of a printing partner. My goal is to make you sparkle your way to the finish line!

If you’re interested in having a custom piece designed for you, please contact me, I’m happy to help. I accept custom order requests March-October.
