Dashing for Dogfish Head
By Tim Cigelske • Jul 21st, 2009 • Category: In the news
It’s the only 5K and 10K race that bills itself as “slightly off-centered.”
The 4th Annual Dogfish Dash caters to “serious runners & serious Dogfish fans.” Or both.
Registration is open for the September 27th road race that starts and finishes at the Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and benefits the Delaware Chapter of The Nature Conservancy.
This year’s Dogfish Dash registration is capped at 1,000 runners and you must enter online. Registration closes Sept. 1st and there’s no race day registration. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
This year, runners with the best recycled-content costumes will also win — quote — “fun prizes.” What fun prizes? We’re not sure. But as a fun brewery, it’s probably a safe bet that it will involve fun beer.
Other race-day hoopla includes a post-race keg sprint competition, brewery tours, live music, food and, of course, “Dogfish beer will be flowing.”
That last part alone sounds well worth the $15-$20 entry fee.
