From the Organizer
Join us on Saturday August 15 for Beer City Half™ SLAM, our final race of the Summer. August is National Clear the Shelters Month and we're working with Pets in Need to support animal rescue and adoption. This means we will have the annual running of the Top Dog Dash with all the proceeds doing to this great cause. The air is thick with excitement!
