Greensboro Distilling Speakeasy 5K

About

We are moving the Greensboro Distilling Speakeasy 5K to early Summer!  This race takes place after dark and is always a fan favorite!  The out and back course is well lit and very enjoyable (especially without the sun beating down on your run)!  After the race, we welcome you to join us at our very own speakeasy featuring live jazz music and cocktails made with the award-winning alcohol from Fainting Goat Spirits!

This run has a fun, laid back atmosphere with awesome custom medals, and awards.  This is a great opportunity to run a PR or just have a night out with friends!
