Miles for Meals 5k Walk & Run
Run, jog, or walk – it’s up to you! The course starts and ends at B-52 Brewing Company. Cross the finish line, grab a beer (or root beer), and enjoy the day with food trucks, games, and more. We’re focused on providing you with an excuse to get outside (rain or shine), free beer (or lemonade), and a chance to support your community with a portion of proceeds helping to feed local, homebound seniors!

Registering a team? Here are a few helpful hints.
If your teammates are unrelated individuals (i.e not family), give them the team name and have them register themselves. This ensures their birthdate, waiver and emergency contact information are recorded.
Step 1. Click on “Register for team” At this point, the price of a team will be added to the cart
Step 2. Add team member information
Step 3. Sign waiver for team member
Step 4. Click “select team by name” At this point, the team price will be removed and the balance will be zero
Step 5. Complete registraton
For families, one person can register all members. Right before the checkout process, you’ll see a field “add entry”. Then click “team” and it will give you a new first page to add name, birthdate, waiver. It may appear that you are being charged a new team entry fee, but once you add the team name, that will be removed from the cart. You will have to repeat this process for each team member.
