5k Run: No beer, all run. This will be the first wave that starts right at 9:55am. Run past all the beer stations and get to the finish line without stopping! Don't worry, your race entry still gets you into the after party if you are over 21! We are limiting the NO BEER 5K to 300 People.

Beer Run: Same course as 5k Run. This will be run in multiple waves! Starting with an "Elite Wave" at 10:00am. You'll drink between 8 and 10 4-ounce pours of beer along the way. Water will be available at each beer station, and bathrooms will be available near the halfway mark! The BEER RUN 5K is limited to 500 people.

There will be two Olympic themed items hidden on the course and one hidden at the after party. Bring one to the Race Director and you will win a prize!

Costume Contest: BLANK Themed. Come as an BLANK, BLANK, or BLANK.
