What a blast! 🎉 Amazing vibes, awesome music, cool T-shirt, shiny medal, and snacks that totally hit the spot! The organizers really nailed it — you could feel the energy and excitement everywhere. Can’t wait to do it again next year — who’s running with me? 🏃‍♀️

A great race! The hill in the first mile is quite a challenge but once past that the remainder of the course is mostly a breeze. The best thing about this race is the after party with live music and the swag. A technical t-shirt, a free beer, and honestly one of the best med...

We love this race. It is reasonable priced for a great long sleeve t-shirt, medal, and draft beer! It was a perfect family day!

This was the fifth year doing this event with my kids. We call it my birthday run because it takes place on my birthday weekend every year. It is always fun and organized and we will definitely continue to come every year.

Really enjoyed the course and the whole event overall. The hills were a bit challenging for me but I was glad to get the hills over with in the beginning of the race which made the finish doable as I am not an active runner by any stretch! Novice at best! Cannot wait to participate again next year. The water bottle being handed to me upon completion of the race was appreciated and I loved my metal too. Also, the long sleeve blue shirts were really nice! Sometimes the race shirts can be crazy colors and designs. I loved the light blue shirt!

Well run event, timely communications prior to event. High quality swag! Not your typical 5K. Challenging hill about one mile in. Pretty cool that you get a free beer after the race! Ran it with my grandson (who beat me!) :)

This was a fun 5k race. I’m not a drinker and by my own mistake signed up for a beer run lol! Nonetheless it was a fun run. The only thing I’d change is maybe consider posting up a physical copy of the race results so that people can look. It took almost the entire day for race r...
