Post Run Beer Tasting

Image

The post-run beer drinking is a festival all its own. Beer City Half offers our runners over 21 years of age a selection of beer from a collection of our local brewer friends. There will also be non-alcoholic Hop Water as well as the water, bubbly drinks, and snacks we provide.

Beer will be served in 7oz Beer City tasting glasses for you to take home (without a beer in them still). Drink as much as you like until noon.

Also, there will be bubbly water, sodas, cookies, and fruit for everyone.

 

Swag & Awards

Each Beer City Half runner receives the special Key to Beer City, a comfy Beer City t-shirt, a 7oz Beer City tasting glass, a custom bib, and free race photos. 

Podium trophies are given to the top 3 in each race by gender. Age group awards are given 3-deep in 10-year divisions (example: 20-29). Age group winners are requested to identify themselves at the timing table.

All runners are entered into the Beer City Series results, and our Slammers receive a special lanyard that holds all the keys. Collect them all- gotta run first!

Beat the Beast and The Beermazing Race have their treats and rewards as well.
