💙 We Want to Hear From You! 💙

As we look ahead to future Pine Lake Festivals, we’d love to hear from YOU!

We’re asking for feedback and ideas — not criticism. Our goal is to take your suggestions and use them to help shape future years of the Pine Lake Festival.

Most importantly, we need more people involved in the planning process to keep this event moving forward. If you’re willing to help plan, organize, volunteer, bring an idea to life, or take ownership of an event or activity, we want to hear from you!

What would you like to see added or changed- what do you love about the festival? We will use this information to shape future years festivals. We are asking for feedback- not criticism.

If you didn’t stop by and get some BBQ- you missed out, but don’t worry- they’ll give you another chance next year!

I’m told runners love rain…. I’ll take their word for it 😉

Glad to see a great turnout for a great event and an even greater group of volunteers!

And that’s a wrap on our 2026 River’s Edge Trail Half Marathon 🏃🏽 🏃🏼‍♀️ 🏃🏼‍♂️ We navigated a route detour, added in a few new events with Pine Lake Festival, and even a little bit of rain with ease thank you to our amazing volunteers. With the support of our community, and the participation of all of YOU, it was our most successful event to date! We will share official results, photos of the day, and more over the next few days. Thank you for your support of our event and the beautiful River’s Edge Trail-we hope to see you next year for year #5! 👟
