Each Wednesday, Kettlehouse Brewing Co.’s Northside location hosts a different non-profit organization for a fundraiser, with fifty cents of every pint sold donated to that organization.  This Wednesday, June 29, 2011, beer and running come together to support Run Wild Missoula. 

Run Wild Missoula’s beer run will take off from the brewery (313 N. 1st St. W.) at 6:00 p.m.  It’s a five mile loop of the downtown area that will have you thirsty and ready for a couple of pints when you’re done.  (The Marathon training group meets at the brewery at 5:00 for it’s Wednesday training run.)

Not up for a run? No worries. Stop by the brewery any time between 5:00 and 8:00 to take part of the fun, drink some great beer and support Run Wild Missoula and all the club does for runners and walkers of all abilities.  It was the same event in June, 2010 that sparked the idea for Run Wild Missoula’s popular beer runs, held the last Wednesday of each month, even in the cold, dark winter months. What can I say? Running and beer is an excellent combination.

While you’re at it, mark your calendar for a special beer run taking place during the weekend-long festivities surrounding the Missoula Marathon Weekend. Friday, July 8, a Marathon weekend edition beer run will start at the Badlander in Downtown Missoula at 6:00 p.m. and offer options for a 3, 4 or 5 mile run.  Head to Run Wild Missoula’s website for more information.
