Missoula Marathon Special Edition Beer Run on Friday

A record number of runners are expected to take part in the 6th Annual Missoula Marathon on Sunday July 8, 2012.  Before you toe the starting line, or head out to cheer on friends and family, you’ll have an opportunity to get social with a beer run taking place at Tamarack Brewing Co. on Friday,…

Goodbye, Beer

I’m done. No more beer. Are those the last words you thought I’d utter?  Surprised?  Concerned? Don’t be.  It’s only temporary. The Missoula Marathon is six days away.  It’s an exceptionally well run event with a scenic course, great crowd support and a whole weekend of fun. That well deserved praise is my feeble attempt…

Beer Run at Kettlehouse to Support Run Wild Missoula

Run Wild Missoula’s next beer run takes place on Wednesday, June 27, at 6:00 p.m. and it’s a special one.  Not only is that my birthday, but it’s the yearly Kettlehouse U-Nite fundraiser in support of Run Wild Missoula.   For many years, Kettlehouse Brewing Co. has been giving back to the community by hosting…

Is Blueberry Beer the Next Super Food?

The running related magazines and blogs I enjoy are frequently touting the latest studies on super foods for athletic performance.  If it tastes good and provides a few benefits, I just might bite.  Despite being four weeks out from marathon No. 2, my diet resembles something closer to that of a couch potato than your…

(Beer) Running in 2012: What Goals?

For 2011 I started out the year with three distinct running goals: run my first marathon in under four hours, join Run Wild Missoula’s 1200 Club by running at least 1200 miles in the calendar year and set a new personal record in a half marathon.  Completing the first goal was a ton of fun…

March Beer Run Tours the Rattlesnake

It’s the last week of March which means it’s time to lace up the running shoes and head out to Run Wild Missoula’s monthly beer run – the legitimate kind.  This Wednesday, March 28, the Beer Run starts from Sean Kelly’s Public House on Pine Street in downtown Missoula for a little belated St. Paddy’s…

Not Your Montana Beer Run

“Beer Runners Gone Bad” is a news headline that immediately caught my attention this morning.  I pictured a bunch of my fellow beer runners accidentally getting tricked into drinking a Bud Light Chelada. Or perhaps a foul odor emanating from the pack after a run at the Run Wild Missoula pint night at Kettlehouse. No,…

February Beer Run Heads to Al & Vic’s

Run Wild Missoula’s monthly beer run heads to Al & Vic’s on Wednesday, February 29 for a Mardi Gras themed celebration of running and beer.  Sure, they may be a week late for Mardi Gras, but these runs are always well attended, festive and fun.  Al & Vic’s may not have the best craft beer…
