3.1 Miles 5k Run

What is not to like about this 5K-ish….dress like Santa and beer….almost forgot about the running. All Santas start at a bar in the north side in Bethlehem (FLYING PIG), to warm up, have some drinks and enjoy company. At noon – Santas take off for a run around Bethlehem area bars where the first 24 to get to each location receive a free beer. To everyone else – drink specials! At 3 PM, all Santas will come back together at Molly’s Irish Grille and Sports Pub for live music and tons of fun.

Check-in from 11:00 AM – 11:45 AM @ Flying Pig

Run begins at 12 Noon – there will be an official “GO”

There is no course – you can visit bars in any order you choose…strategy is key

There are more ways to get free beer than being first — anyone who brings a toy to donate for Toys for Tots will receive a ticket for a free beer at the starting location.

$5 from each registration will also be donated to Toys for Tots.

Space is limited – register today!
