Participants (21y\/o and up) can consume 4 – 4oz beer shots along the race course and finish with a full beer.\u00a0The race is professionally timed by the Running Zone so you can race your way through quickly to a personal best or take your time sipping along the way and laugh at how long it took you to do a 4K.\u00a0Proceeds from the race benefit St. Baldrick’s and SAAZ.\u00a0This is our second year and we have plans to make this year even bigger and better than the first year but we need your help.
