Only individuals aged 21 and older will be allowed to receive beers. The awards ceremony and post-race festivities will occur at the Gate City Brewing Company’s tap room.

The cost to participate in the 5k walk or run will be $35. Attendees should note that this price will increase after February 1. Attendees can register for this event via the Find a Race Listing.
