About
We are switching things up again and moving the second race in The Race the Bar series 2017 back to the Lindley Park neighborhood for the 8k distance. We will also be adding a 5K option in 2017! Double points will be awarded for the 8K and single points for the 5K. With the race being in May, we have made the start time later to allow the sun to go down a bit. The important things have stayed the same – great beer, amazing finisher’s glasses and awards, and a gorgeous course.
