Event Description

A Run For Underachievers.
A Couch Potato Fun Run.
A Run For The Rest Of Us.

It goes by many names, and now you can take part in one, if you snag one of the 100 entry slots before they are gone! This 0.5K "Run" (Yes, really 0.5K = 1/3 Mile = 546 Yards = 1640 Feet) will only take you about 7 minutes to complete if you walk it, and then you get rewarded with a beer and a donut! How great is that? Not to mention the best part - the proceeds go to help fight cancer!

Schedule:
9:00 AM - Arrival & Check In
10:00 AM - Run/Walk Starts!
10:15 AM - All Done, Time For Beer & Donuts!
12:00 PM - Hop Culture Opens to the public

We are the "Pirates of the Cure-ibbean" team with the Relay For Life of Southeastern CT. The money we raise at this event will go to our 2022 Relay For Life event in June 2022, which is part of the American Cancer Society.

But wait, there's more! What's a fun run without SWAG?
Besides the beer and donuts, you will also receive:
- Limited edition official "2021 Pirate's Beer Run" t-shirt. Wear it proudly to show how hard you worked at this event, displaying not only our logo on the front, but all of our sponsors on the back!
- Limited edition official "2021 Pirate's Beer Run" pint glass! Every time you drink a beer or anything else from this glass, you will remember the fun times you had with us. Emblazoned with our logo of course.
- Not so limited-edition official "0.5K Pirate's Beer Run" euro-style oval sticker. Stick to your car or anywhere to show your superiority over others.

You mentioned beer? Yes! Through our partnership with Hop Culture Farms & Brew Co you will receive a pour of one of their amazing craft beers. They are also hosting this event for us, so you will "run" (or walk, skip, whatever you prefer) around their property for the 0.5K, ending just steps away from their tasting room. With a variety of styles on tap at all times there is surely something you will love. Present your Beer Ticket (to be found in your pint glass) at the bar in the tasting room for your beer.

What about that donut? We've partnered with our local Dunkin' Donuts to supply you with your after-run donut! We will have multiple options available for you to choose from, and you will present your Donut Ticket (to be found in your pint glass) for your donut at our Donut Tent. (Which may look exactly like our check-in tent.)
