Friday August 18: Ipswich Ale Brewery 1K Road "Race"
"The Road Race For The Rest Of Us"
Location: Ipswich Ale Brewery, 2 Brewery Place, Ipswich, MA 01938
Time: 6:30pm Registration and Carbo-Loading Beer Tasting; 7pm Road "Race"; after party till 8:30pm
Rain or shine! Must be 21+ to attend.
Have you ever wanted to run in a road race, but even just the thought of running a 5K makes you tired? Do you love beer so much that you are willing to chase after a tapmobile for it? Do you care more about the drinking of a beer than the running of a road race? Are you looking for the perfect excuse to wear that new banana costume you got on eBay? Then the Ipswich Ale Brewery 1K Road Race "The Road Race For The Rest Of Us" is for you!!
Start the evening at the brewery in your finest costume, and load up on carbs like all good runners do! (though for this road race, the carbo-loading station will be a delicious beer tasting of our lineup of beers!) At 7pm, the road "race" begins. A tapmobile will lead the way through downtown Ipswich. Walk, run, or jog at any speed; you can even bring your dog. (It's really more of a parade than a race!). Afterwards, back at the brewery, enjoy a fun after party with food, beer, music, games, costume contest, and more!
Beer drinkers of all levels of drinking experience are welcome. No running experience necessary!! After all, 1K is just 0.62 miles! But for bragging rights, you can say you ran a whole: 1,094 yards! 3,281 feet! or 39,370 inches! Can your beer belly handle it?
