The Pickle Fest 5K starts at 10:00 AM, giving you a reasonable window to arrive in Cleveland without an extremely early morning. Held on October 3rd, 2026, this 5K takes place on Lakeside Ave E in Cleveland, Ohio. Entry fees run between $40 and $45. If you're traveling to the area for the race, plan your arrival the day before or early morning to account for parking and check-in. The autumn timing means fall conditions are likely, so pack accordingly for late morning racing. Standard 5K logistics apply here: confirm exact parking details and warm-up space when you register, and arrive with enough buffer time to handle any last-minute details before the 10:00 AM gun.
