About
We are taking the Bootlegger theme from the trails to the streets with speakeasy race this summer! Join us at the brand new Greensboro Distilling Co for a nighttime run through downtown Greensboro, live prohibition-era jazz, and cocktails made of grain-to-glass handcrafted spirits.
Something a bit new for 2017, the Greensboro Distilling Bootlegger will be a part of our Race the Bar Series! Same great series, different kind of bar!
