About this run
We are officially halfway to the Art Car IPA 5K/presented by UHD! So let's party, run and celebrate with are friends at the Flying Saucer - Downtown! Here is 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! You will check in at the Saucer between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM and we will run/walk at 9:00 AM and when we get back we will eat, drink and celebrate Saint Arnold, and crush some tamales! And yes, the outdoor patio at the Flying Saucer has been extended 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 to Saint Arnold and back. Here is a link to course: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/5460127264 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!
