A dozen racers showed up in competitive spirit for the first annual Great Pumpkin Race in Coupeville Sunday.

Participation was more than double from last year’s inaugural event. Pumpkins went head-to-head in a series of heats.

Cora and Scott Edmunds’ Monsters Without Pants took home the grand prize while Thiago Guerrero, 4, took home second place with his racer, Icky Boogey. Team Spooky took third while a pumpkin decorated as a mermaid took home a prize for best decoration. Other prizes included innovative design and best crash.
