About the Nut 5K and Fun Run
The race runs alongside the Malone Pecan Festival, so the surrounding area is already busy with a county fair atmosphere when you toe the line. There is a timed course and a shorter fun run option. Special recognition goes to the best patriotic-dressed runners, which gives the morning a dressed-up energy beyond the usual age-group awards.
The event is put on by a local agricultural organization, and the post-race area reflects that with farm-themed items at the finish. Age-group awards go several deep, and separate prizes go to the top overall finishers as well.
