This race is fun and social and is NOT a qualifier for the World Championship (yes thats a real thing).

EVENTS:

5K RUN/WALK AND DOG JOG This is a traditional 5K event and will be timed. You can run it as fast as you can or jog/walk it for fun. Feel free to bring your dog with you as this event is for the dogs, but dogs are not required! All human participants will get a signature Hair of the Dog mug as well as a free post run beer at Atypical.

BEER MILE Please join us for the 3rd annual Beer Mile! 4 Beers and a 1 Mile run! Here is how it is done..
- Drink one full can of beer within the sectioned off Beer Zone on our course.
- Run one loop of the 1/4 mile course. Simply follow the cones and back to the Beer Zone
- You will repeat the above steps 3 more times.
- If you "toss your cookies" (PLEASE use one of the garbage receptacles along the course for this purpose), you have to run a one lap penalty for this offense.
**Thankfully you don't have to consume an extra beer, just run an additional 1/4 mile.

Does that sound like an impossible feat? Get four friends and sign up for a Relay Team!
