Kernal Klassic 5K - Van Buren, IN


Now here's a great summer classic run - The Kernal Klassic 5K run as one of the events of the 37th annual Van Buren Indiana Popcorn Festival sponsored by Weaver Popcorn. If you didn't know it, Van Buren , is the Popcorn Capital of the World! And they put on a very nice race! The 23rd running of the 5K event went off with a bang and finished with some fast times on the main street that runs through the town. 174 finishers had a great time and enjoyed perfect (well maybe a little warm) weather for their efforts. Rewards for the top finishers were umm... POPCORN!! Lots of it! The community support makes this race one to come back to year after year. Put this one on your calendar!

Please leave a comment, suggestion, or your reflections on this event. Thanks!
