Everything but the shoes.
Real running socks, a bib belt, anti-chafe — the cheap upgrades that matter.
About this race
We LOVE seeing you keep those beer bellies in shape for the Art Car IPA 5K presented by UHD! Our friends at the Flying Saucer and the Art Car IPA 5K Beer Pacers will help you too!!
Here/s the skinny, for $35 you get a guided and marked 3ish mile run/walk plus three tasty brews from Saint Arnold Brewing Company, a pint glass and a Texas Tamale Company breakfast!
Check in at the Saucer between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM and we run/walk at 9:00 AM and when we get back, we'll eat, drink and celebrate Saint Arnold, raise a toast and crush some tamales and enjoy great times at the Flying Saucer too!
All paces are welcome, and we will have at least three pace leaders each week, one in the front, one in the middle and a butt pincher at the end. The route is roughly 3ish miles and we simply start at the Saucer, run/walk and then head back.

Parking is free in downtown Houston on Sundays too! All of our social run/walks are rain or shine! If weather prevents us from running, we will still eat and drink beer, glorious beer!
