Important Update
NEW THIS YEAR: Due to restrictions by the forest preserve, there will be no beer samples along the route this year. We will have a mini beer garden set up near the finish line, and you will still be able to sample beers from all 5 craft breweries at the finish line, and participants will still receive a pint of beer from their favorite brewer.
