All distances share a common finish, while each has its own, unique start location. Runners are shuttled to the various start areas and run back to the cold brew (and root beer!) at the brewery.

The festive finish features music, free beer for runners, recovery food including water, Gatorade, salty snacks, bananas, oranges, etc. You may even find some breakfast food and coffee available for purchase! Shower up at River Valley Athletic Club just around the corner, then spend the morning with friends at this fun, social gathering with some quality running thrown in for good measure.
