About the Pickle Events Run Template - V2 Test
The shorter course runs on flat paved roads. The longer option mixes pavement with a stretch across a golf course on mowed grass, plus a brief section of gravel, so the footing does shift a bit. Aid stations are spaced out along both routes. The race benefits a local swimming pool and a school cross country program.
The finish drops you into the middle of Kerkhoven Town and Country Days, a full town festival happening the same morning. Children's games, a tractor pull, kiddie rides, a flea market, a firemen's feed, and a parade are all part of the day, so there is plenty of reason to stay after you are done running.
