Canton Pickle Fest presents The Iron Pickle 5k

🥒 Canton Pickle Fest 5K – The Iron Pickle 5k

Get ready for the most dill-lightful race in Canton! The Canton Pickle Fest 5K kicks off the morning of Canton Pickle Fest, taking runners on a scenic route through beautiful Stadium Park and adjoining Monument Park, along the West Branch Trail which follows the Nimishillen Creek.

🥒 Whether you run, walk, skip, or jog, this race is all about embracing the vibrant energy of the festival and getting the community together for a fun, feel-good experience. Dress in your best pickle gear, all in green, or in a pickle costume for a chance to win the Best Dressed award!

🎉 Event Highlights

• Unique Challenge: Join The Iron Pickle 5k challenge by carrying an inflatable pickle or jar of pickles across the finish line for an extra special finisher medal.
• Post-Race Festivities: After you finish, head straight downtown to Centennial Plaza to get to the heart of Canton Pickle Fest, starting at 10 a.m.
• Food & Entertainment: Celebrate your run with great food, unique shopping, a DJ, Scavenger Hunt, and the healing electrolyte powers of the All-Mighty PICKLE!
• Awards: Awards will be announced on stage at Centennial Plaza at 11am.

🏆 Why This 5K Stands Out

• Pickle-Themed Fun: Dress in green or go all out in a pickle costume for a chance to win prizes!
• Scenic Course: A beautiful, simple route including a portion along the creek, through Monument Park, and back through Stadium Park to the finish.
• Awesome SWAG: Every participant gets a race shirt, bib, and a finisher medal.
• Community Support: Bring 2 non-perishable food items when you pick up your race packet to help the Stark Hunger Task Force and receive a thank-you sticker!
