For our January Pickle Run we are going to set up a three course Pickle Prediction Run.

5k 7k and a 4.5 mile road and trail run

You will have a choice of course and distance, one of them being a half road, half trail run.

5k 7k and a 4.5 mile road and trail run

Since all scoring will be done in prediction format, the time and distance doesn’t really matter. It’s only how close you come to your predicted time.

On top of that we will play Hide the Pickle and if you get one, you will get the option to change your predicted time by drawing a card out of a poker deck. ( if you pull a 7 of hearts you can add or subtract 7 minutes from your time).

The Pickle Runs…for people who love to run!!
