Description
IT'S BACK!!
The Nutty Runner 5k is back and little nuttier than ever.
3 miles, 3 brews, tons a fun. We are throwing in back to our original 1 mile loop beginning and ending at the brewery where you'll consume your pints of Nutty Runner Nut Brown Ale on the CHB patio! New for 2025 race options!
Nutty Runner- you, and only you, run each 1 mile loop and drink each brew- that's 3 total miles and 3 total beers!
Designated Runner/Designated Drinker- you and your running buddy tag team each lap! 1 runs all the miles, 1 drinks all the beers!
Nutty Runner Relay- share the love! You and 2 of your buddies each complete 1 lap and 1 beer
Designated Driver- you're just here for the running! You'll complete all 3 of the 1 mile loops, but without all the beers!
