Running is fun. Running with people is more fun. Enjoying post-run refreshments is possibly the most fun! Big River Running is all about fun and is excited to partner with local breweries and pubs to host free group runs where runners, walkers, and beer lovers can come together to enjoy a little exercise, great food and drink, and camaraderie.
On Running will join us as our special guest with on-site demo footwear. Participants can try out the new Cloudsurfer Max. Be sure to arrive early to get your size so you can test out a pair of On shoes on the run!
Please RSVP for this free run HERE.
Urban Chestnut is offering all participants a $1 Off Beer Special so hang around and enjoy!
