The Nutty Runner 5k is back and little nuttier than ever.

Nutty Runner- run, beer, run, beer, run, beer: that's 3 total miles and 3 total beers!
Designated Driver- you're just here for the running! You'll complete all 3 of the 1 mile loops, but without all the beers!

Written course directions: From the starting shoot, you will run down the gravel drive towards North St, turn left and then immediately left onto the trail, continue up the trail to the mural (if you cross the bridge- you've gone too far!) turn off the trail and run up Willis Ave, make a quick "jog" right on to W Cleveland St and then a left to continue on Whitham Ave, turn left on Taylor St, follow the road around and turn right on Douglas and right back on Whitham Ave and follow the course back to the brewery! Once you're back to the brewery you will drink your beer (if you're in the drinking division) and head back out until you've done it 3 times, then cross the finish line!

Spectators are encouraged to come and hang out! The bar will be open and the upper patio a great place to cheer on (or heckle!) friends and family!
