I needed 13 miles last Saturday but I wanted to go to a local 10k. I started my morning with 10.75 miles at a local park with a running friend then headed out to the 10k, the 4th Tour de Brewers. Make no mistake this is a fun run, not a race. Runners include everyone from runners who don't drink, to college students all in for a party. The run starts at Tin Roof and from there goes to three local breweries covering about a 10k in the process. The $20 fee covers 3 beer tastings and a tech t-shirt as well as a donation to the Dannon Project. We have run 3 of the 4 times the run has been held only missing Sept 2013 when we were at Disney. As the run starts the crowd of runners is split, half head to Avondale while the other half go to Good People in and attempt not to overwhelm any location at once. The runners do meet up at Cahaba but by then the pack is well spread out. Our friend Chris joined Mike and me and we took the dogs. It is a great run for my lab Max because he gets rest stops! Millie could run for miles and miles, Max not so much! We just ran and talked about everything from work to beer to our next races. Chris committed to registering for a 2015 Disney race! It will be so much fun to go to Disney with his family too. Tour de Brewers 5 is already on our calendar for this fall!
