About the application

Choose one of two NEW routes through picturesque Wayne County and beyond, with SAG stops throughout. All routes  (29 miles and a full metric century 100k/64 miles) are on hard surface country roads. Inline skaters welcome!

 

This year's event will include 3 fully stocked aid stations serving water, Gatorade, snacks, PB&J and of course, Mt. Olive Real DILL Pickle Juice!  There will be SAG support with a master mechanic, jars of pickles for every participant and commemorative t-shirts celebrating the 40th Annual NC Pickle Festival and Mt. Olive Pickle's 100th Anniversary!

 

The event is coordinated this year by The Salty Turtle Cycling Club (a huge thanks to Haydn Frost and The Salty Turtle Cycling Club!) and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Surf City, NC.

 

After the ride, enjoy the North Carolina Pickle Festival, which runs in downtown Mount Olive until 6 p.m. Riders will have the option to catch a shuttle from the finish line to the festival downtown and will receive a $10 food truck voucher to redeem with participating vendors.
