Description

What happens when you pair the Talking Heads song “burning down the house” with the Ghost of Alfred Brown brew? You get a custom designed Peticolas Running Club October pint glass as a keepsake!! David Byrne (founding member and lead singer for the Talking Heads) is quoted as saying, “Burning Down the House wasn't a song about arson. When I wrote the lyrics in 1982, the title phrase was a metaphor for destroying something safe that entrapped you. I envisioned the song as an expression of liberation, to break free from whatever was holding you back.” So, don’t let anything hold you back, grab your running/walking crew and enjoy some Peticolas miles, breakfast from That Taco Dude, custom pint glass and three brews to fill it. Join our pacers for a run walk, and don’t let anything hold you back!

Check in is between the hours of 8AM-9AM. You can start your run/walk whenever you would like or join the 'group' start at 8:30AM and run with the group! The rolling start allows you a choice, flexibility to go at your pace but please arrive by 9am (check in ends promptly at 9AM, thank you!).
Along the trail there will be mile markers out, and bottled water available to take with you (there is no water on the course) or bring your own filled water bottle.
The social run includes the run/walk, a custom branded pint glass, three brews and That Taco Dude breakfast. The three Peticolas brews can be enjoyed anyway you want, meaning, you can drink all three in the Taproom as drafts or have one draft and then take two cans TO GO or in any combination.
