This isn't really a race, it's just an excuse to drink some beer and have some fun with a little bit of running involved. It's a lot like a Color Run, in that there are no official times It's technically a "4K" but my GPS marked 2.1 miles. The course was different from years past but it was still flat. The bib has 4 coupons that you turn in to get your 4 beers.

Registration - really easy online. Price increases fairly early so register early! Also this is usually on Groupon or Living Social to save a few dollars.

Expo - It wasn't an expo at all, just a stop by a bar and pick up your stuff kind of deal.

Course - Flat, a little over 2 miles. Start and finish line were the same so no need to worry about parking at the start or finish.

Medal - It was the same as in years past so nothing special here. It doubles as a bottle opener which is cool. However, this was the 3rd year this race was in Jacksonville and it was the same medal all 3 years. You also get sunglasses, a koozie, a sticker, and a cool tshirt. Again, everything but the shirt was the same as last years.

I would love if this race was earlier in the year or earlier in the day. It was around 80 degrees at the start of the race which was NOT ideal. Also, the beer and water was pretty warm which did not sit well in the stomach. Also in years past they used local breweries beer and this year it was Miller light which was a HUGE letdown.

I will do this run again just because it's something different and fun. But they really need to step their game up and go back to local beer, and get some new designs on the swag.
