Run in the Newburgh Draught Day 5 Mile Race

If you're anything like me, you spend a fair amount of time sitting with a beer in your hand, thinking about how there should be a way to get healthy and fit, stay in shape, and be active while drinking a beer.

If you're nothing like me, you actually follow through on the ideas you come up with while you sit around and ponder with a beer in your hand.

Luckily, the fine folks at Newburgh Brewing Company have the kind of motivation and ambition that I lack and they've put together a very cool event that you're going to love if you happen to enjoy beer but also enjoy feeling like you're not a lazy ball of dough wasting away atop a barstool. I have long since killed the part of my brain that causes me to feel that way, so I will continue to be the ball of dough cheering you on as you run the 3rd Annual Newburgh Draught Day 5 Mile.

When: August 27th, 8:45am
Where: Newburgh Brewing Company, 88 S. Colden Street

Here's what you can look forward to:

• Timed race in the historic city of Newburgh, with musket shot start
• Commemorative pint glass (guaranteed for the first 300 runners)
• Craft beer from Newburgh's favorite brewery
• Great barbecue lunch on the lawn of George Washington's last headquarters
