YOU CAN MAKE A GAME TIME DECISION :) This is an untimed, 5k-ish fun-run. All levels of walkers, runners and joggers are welcome. This is an open course, meaning roads will NOT be closed. You are responsible for obeying all traffic laws and regulations. We create each route to start and end at the brewery and to show off the surrounding neighborhood. You must bring a valid ID or driver's license. You do not need to be 21 to enjoy the event, but you must be 21 to enjoy the beer. Please drink responsibly. (Registered, underage participants will receive a wristband for a FREE non-alcoholic beverage) Our events are rain or shine! If conditions become unsafe to run, we will still hang out and drink beer! There will not be a bag check; please plan accordingly and dress appropriately for the weather. There is public parking available. We always encourage carpooling and safe, designated drivers. Keep an eye out - we will send you all final event details via email the week of this event and share anything else you might need to know. Questions?
