Wow… just wow! We are absolutely overjoyed by the incredible turnout for the Will Run for Pickles 5K Run/Walk this past Saturday in Highland. The smiles, the costumes, the families, the volunteers, the whole sense of community left us completely blown away.
A huge thank‑you to Running Venture for expertly guiding us through the entire planning process. We couldn’t have done it without you! And another big shout‑out to Heather Stern Photography for capturing these wonderful moments.
Most of all, thank you to our sponsors, volunteers, and every single person who braved the storm to make this event so much fun. Our community truly showed up, and we are so grateful. 🥒💚
