5K Beer Run

The 5K Beer Run at Distraction Brewing Company is less about chasing a finish time and more about making a morning out of movement, beer and good company. Part of the Massachusetts Brewery Running Series, the event invites runners, walkers and joggers of all levels to take on a casual 5K route before celebrating back at the brewery. The appeal is in the low-pressure format: no need to be a serious runner, just show up, get outside and enjoy a locally made beer at the finish line. With the race starting and ending at Distraction Brewing in Roslindale, it fits neatly into a weekend plan that includes a little exercise without giving up the reward afterward. For anyone who likes their fitness with a neighborhood hangout attached, this is a fun way to spend a Saturday morning.
