| Who drinks when they run? When offered a beer during a race, do you take it? Do you hash? |

I've been known to imbibe on the course if it's offered. I certainly do it after.
Not currently a hasher, but I've been looking into it more and more. |

I've been trying to get involved with a hashing group an hour away, but something is up with their website. They have some sort of e-mail group subscription, but they've got it configured wrong, so I don't think my messages are getting to or from the group. And they have no direct e-mail address for contact, unfortunately. I'm not sure it would be a good idea to go hashing that far from home, anyhow...
The Grand Rapids Marathon had beer and chili at the end (good beer, too) and I guess there is at least one beer station on the second half of the course. I only did the half, so no beer. It's one incentive for me to do the full in '08--beer!

| Best beer I ever had. Mile 23. It was flat. And warm. And in a plastic cup. And it was PBR. But it was mile 23. And it was not gatorade. Best beer I ever had. |

| One of the RDs in Reading, PA that hosts a lot of the trail runs I do offers beer on the course for a number of races. The 50k he does has stops that are named things like "Margaritaville"..... |

| I think there should be a law that every county, town or city needs to have at least one 5k beer run, or equivalent. |

| I'm doing the Shamrock 5K here in Baltimore City .. free beer after the race in the beer garden ... there was beer after the Baltimore Marathon too ... and after the Columbia Cylde's 10K ... come to think of it, there's beer after almost every race I run! |

I have seen that pic of you on your profile. You cannot be old enough to drink.  |

I need to move. Muskegon, MI likes to pride itself as the "beer tent capital of the world" (yeah, apparently they haven't been to Germany...or even across the lake to Milwaukee), yet their biggest road race of the year includes no beer. Pansies.

Quote from Trent on 2/13/2007 at 10:19 PM:I have seen that pic of you on your profile. You cannot be old enough to drink.
Well I do appreciate it, Trent, but I am 24 ... almost 25! At the end of the Baltimore Marathon the guy passing out beer looked at me and said "are you really 21?" I said "I am 23, and I just run 26.2 miles. Give me my beer." |
