Back by popular demand, the “OLD MAN’S BEER GARDEN” is here for both runners and A Christmas Story fans’ holiday enjoyment. Mr. Parker and his friends saw what a great time you had last year, so it’s being brought back for a second season! After your stellar finish and your medal is around your neck, come on in and enjoy a glass of the famous “Christmas Ale” or “Doertmunder Lager Gold” and toast your finish in style! The Beer Garden is just beyond the 5K finish and is sponsored by the Great Lakes Brewing Co. and the Rowley Inn!
Details:
- The Beer Garden is on the corner of West 11thSt and Buhrer St., just beyond the medal racks. (location change). This is at the 5K finish area and near the A Christmas Story House. It will be open until 1pm. There is no beer garden at the 10K finish.
