We will have root beer available for participants under 21 and non-beer drinkers. We will be holding a raffle post-race open to all finishers in lieu of top finisher awards. Your bib number is your raffle number, so stick around to see if you won a fun prize! Additional raffle tickets can be purchased the day of the run and all proceeds will go to Pink Warrior House. Join us in the beer garden before and after the race.
Additional beer and food will be available for purchase in the brewery. Plus, during the month of October, Canteen and Steel Bender will donate $1 per pint of their designated charity beer to Pink Warrior House. Sip a pink pint of Canteen Brewhouse or Steel Bender beer, while helping our local warriors battle breast cancer.
