Brewery Running Series, Minneapolis

In 2012, Morgan Jappe and Nate Herrington had a simple question: How could they best fuse their twin passions, craft beer and running? They answered themselves by founding Brewery Running Series, a summer's worth of events that starts with a 5K set around a local craft brewery and culminates in craft brews, food truck snacks, and live music. Every runner gets to take home a keepsake pint glass, too, a reminder that combining running and drinking doesn't always mean outrunning a keg rolling down the street.
