Akron Pickle Fest 5K

The Akron Pickle Fest 5K is a lively running event held in downtown Akron, Ohio, at 200 S Main St. Celebrating its second year, this fun 5K run/walk kicks off the Akron Pickle Fest, a local celebration of the city's pickle heritage. The event features multiple categories including Adult 5K Run/Walk, Student 5K Run/Walk, and a special "Run with Your Dog" race starting shortly after the main event.

Awards are given to the top three overall men and women, as well as top finishers in various age groups ranging from 1 to 80+. The race fosters a festive atmosphere and leads directly into the opening of the Pickle Fest. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
