The BEER & BAGEL OFF-ROAD RACE is making its way to Memphis! This first-annual run event will feature a unique 4 (ish)-mile course on and off the Wolf River Greenway, starting from the Humphreys Boulevard trailhead. After the race, participants and spectators will gather for a BLOW OUT party with great DJ music, dancing, tailgate games, and photos with Sasquatch! Of course, there will be plenty of bagels and beer. All runners receive a finishers medal, and a race shirt that is everyone’s favorite – a long-sleeve tech shirt with “I’m a Drinker with a Running Problem” printed across the back. The race will be held on Saturday, June 8, at 9:00AM.
The BEER & BAGEL RACE SERIES started twenty-five years ago in the Heartland of America, where every fall, thousands of runners, beer drinkers, and bagel enthusiasts gather in Lincoln, Nebraska to enjoy a good, healthy 4-mile off-road run followed by a fun after-party. Today, the series has spread to multiple states, but every effort is made to keep it local and home-grown. The race in Memphis features local craft beer from Wiseacre Brewing, local craft bagels from Dave’s Bagels. A generous portion of the race proceeds will benefit the Wolf River Conservancy, helping fund their projects and programs throughout the city. Other local event partners include REI Co-op and Breakaway Running.
Registration for Memphis is open now at www.BEERANDBAGEL.com. Choose from individual or group pricing options, along with Companion Pass options for those who just want to be on the scene. Everyone is invited to come #RunEatParty!
