About the Santa Beer Run & Kids Elf Run
This one is exactly what it sounds like: a beer mile through downtown Exeter, with stops at local bars along the route. Runners drink at the start, then again mid-loop at a brew co., then at a tavern, then once more before the final stretch. You can go solo or split the laps and drinks with a relay team. Trophies go to the fastest and the best-dressed.
Packet pickup is available the evening before at Bell Craft Brew Co., with a morning-of window on race day at the same spot. A kids fun run runs alongside the main event, with age-based distances and photo opportunities with Santa and Mrs. Claus in the finish area.
