Looking for a unique twist on your typical race experience? Look no further! Introducing our exciting event: Drink-Run-Repeat. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking for some fun with friends, this race promises an unforgettable experience.
Join us at the beautiful Briar Patch Hunting property, situated just north of Poplar Grove Plantation. Here's how it works: participants will tackle a 5K loop, but with a twist. Before each lap, you have the option to enjoy a refreshing 12-ounce Wicked Weed beer or indulge in some chocolate milk, with a tempting offer of a 2-minute deduction off your lap time.
But wait, there's more! For those who want to kick off the excitement early, you can run the Beer Mile. Before the main event, participants can partake in the Beer Mile challenge, where you'll enjoy a beer and run a quarter-mile, setting the tone for an adrenaline-fueled adventure ahead.
Now, we know what you're thinking—running in the summer heat and through the woods may sound daunting, but fear not! Consider it an added thrill as you navigate through nature's obstacles. Keep an eye out for snakes slithering in the woods and be prepared to brave the elements as you conquer the course.
Whether you're flying solo, pairing up with your best buddy, or forming a team of 3 or 4, the goal remains the same: conquer the 20K course in style. Please note, the beer option is exclusively available for those 21 and older. However, fear not, as chocolate milk will also be on offer for those under 21 or simply looking for an alternative refreshment.
As if that weren't enough excitement, participants will be required to hold a relay baton during their leg of the race, adding an extra element of camaraderie and challenge.
So, grab your running shoes, rally your crew, and get ready for an adrenaline-fueled adventure like no other. Drink, run, repeat - the ultimate recipe for a race day to remember!
