Cleveland, OH
Entry is $40 now and rises to $45 after Sep 20, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
The Pickle Fest 5K starts on Mall C along Lakeside Avenue, right on the edge of downtown Cleveland near the lakefront. The course is an urban run through a civic area, flat and open, with the city around you rather than a park or trail. Entry into the festival itself is part of the deal, so the morning extends well past the finish line.
