Join Southern Strain Run Club on September 19th at 9 am, as we kick off Southern Strain Breweries' anniversary weekend with our annual 5k! Our out-and-back course starts at the brewery and then heads to McEachern Greenway, a portion of the 4-mile greenway loop in Concord. There is an aid station midway with water and Gatorade that you will pass twice. Once you’ve crossed the finish line, enjoy our refreshing race day beer, Run for the Pils!
A portion of the race proceeds will benefit Run Cabarrus, a competitive youth cross-country club dedicated to developing distance runners.
