Beer Runs

Last Wednesday of the month, 6 p.m.
No, we’re not going on a beer run, but we are running about five miles with a cold one in our sights. Monthly Beer Runs are on the last Wednesday of the month at 6 p.m. at a different tavern or brewery. The group run of about five miles will be posted at the meeting place. If you’re not a beer drinker, we’ll make sure the establishment has other beverages available so you can join in the fun. Watch the web site for location and details. Questions? Email Chancellor of Libations Pat Cross.

6. We do not want to leave anyone behind. If you plan to finish your run in a place other than the designated route please tell someone.  If you drop out of a run, please contact (or have someone contact) the run leader or Runner’s Edge (if that is where the run is ending- other location if it’s ending somewhere else) so we are not out looking for you.
