BREMOND — One of Bremond’s most familiar summer traditions is headed back to Main Street, bringing runners, families and a little small-town fun with it. The 37th annual Polish Pickle Run will be held Saturday, June 27, in Bremond as part of the Bremond Fest celebration. The 5K will begin at 8 a.m. in front of The Bremond Press at 301 S. Main St., taking runners through an out-and-back course with rolling hills through town. The event has become more than just a race over the years. It is part competition, part reunion and part hometown celebration, giving folks a reason to come out early, cheer from the roadside and spend the day in Bremond. Registration is open for the 5K Run, Clydesdale and Filly 5K Run and Kids K Run. The 5K events are open to runners up to age 99, while the Kids K is open to children 10 and younger. Registration is $35 before the price goes up after June 20, and race-day registration closes at 7:40 a.m. Runners will be competing for cash awards, medals and bragging rights. Awards will be given to the top overall male and female finishers, as well as Masters, Seniors, Veterans and Clydesdale/Filly division winners. Runners who break course records will also receive a bonus. The Kids K will award medals to the top five boys and top five girls. The fun does not stop at the finish line. Participants can stick around for a prize drawing, with the top prize being a live heifer calf or $600. The second prize is 20 bales of coastal Bermuda hay or $100. Winners must be present to claim prizes. All entrants will receive T-shirts, and refreshments with local flavor will be available after the race. Polish Pickle Run Inc. is a nonprofit organization, and the race continues to give back to the community. Since January 2021, the group has donated more than $14,000 to local organizations and individuals, including $3,500 in scholarships for Bremond High School seniors. Donations have also supported the Bremond Back to School Rally, Bremond Public Library, Trucking for Toys, Robertson County Youth Fair Art Show, Bremond Little Dribblers, Rafter Cross Youth of the Common Ground Cowboy Church and the Bremond Chamber of Commerce Polish Day Sponsor Fund. For Bremond, the Polish Pickle Run is another chance to lace up, laugh a little and celebrate the community’s Polish pride one step at a time.
