Event Description
This is the kind of "run" that's REALLY fun... it's a 0.5k BEER RUN! (That's right, 0.5k... that equals 1/3 Mile or 546 yards or 1,640 feet!) We have it on good authority that it will take you about 7 minutes to complete--and that's if you walk! But no pressure, everyone's a winner at this event. Worried you'll overheat from the exertion? Worry not! We will keep you hydrated along the way with a water station and when you cross the finish line of this mentally and physically taxing 0.5k you'll be rewarded with a finishers medal and beer! Participants also receive a limited edition Side Pockets "Barks, Brews & Running Shoes" 0.5k Beer Run T-Shirt and will be entered to win some fabulous giveaways.
The best part is that proceeds benefit the Kansas Humane Society! Yep, that's where the "Barks" come in... the KHS team will be on hand with some friendly, adoptable pets to cheer you on - and comfort you - when it's all over.
Registration is limited to 150 "Runners" so get your sneakers (or your flip-flops?) ready and sign up today! Early bird sign up is $30 through June 16. Registrations June 17 - 30 are $35. (Please note that there is a $2.80 processing fee per transaction so if you are running with friends, sign up at the same time and only pay one transaction fee.)

We mentioned beer, right?
That's right! We're thrilled to have Montucky Cold Snacks as a co-sponsor of this event and will provide their super-refreshing Montucky Cold Snacks Lager to help re-energize participants at the finish line. And get this, Montucky Cold Snacks already donates 8% of their local proceeds to Kansas Humane Society so that's a drink that really makes you feel good. How great is that?
Giveaways
In addition to receiving a limited edition Side Pockets "Barks, Brews & Running Shoes" 0.5k Beer Run T-Shirt, registered runners will also receive a "Bragging Rights" sticker that is sure to make all of the people with those European style "5k" stickers on their car green with envy!
