About the event

A Run For Underachievers.
A Couch Potato Fun Run.
A Run For The Rest Of Us.

It goes by many names, and now you can take part in one, if you snag one of the 150 entry slots before they are gone! This 0.5K "Run" (Yes, really 0.5K = 1/3 Mile = 546 Yards = 1640 Feet) will only take you about 7 minutes to complete if you walk it, and then you get rewarded with a beer and a donut!

How great is that? Not to mention the best part - the proceeds go to help fight cancer! We are the "Pirates of the Cure-ibbean" team with the Relay For Life of Southeastern CT. The money we raise at this event will go to our 2024 Relay For Life event, which is part of the American Cancer Society.

We have a Youth Package option available! When you register as both an on-site or virtual participant, you can add your kids! The Youth Package is $20 and includes a t-shirt, a 0.5K sticker, and a donut. *This is an addon option and appears after you select your participant shirt size* (Shirt sizes go up to Adult XL for this option, so you could also bring a non-drinking adult with this same option.)

Schedule:
10:00-11:00 AM - Arrival & Check In
11:00 AM - Run/Walk Starts!
11:15 AM - All Done, Time For Beer & Donuts!
12:00 PM - Hop Culture Opens to the public

But wait, there's more! What's a fun run without SWAG?
Besides the beer and donuts, you will also receive:
- Limited edition official "2024 Pirate's Beer Run" t-shirt. Wear it proudly to show how hard you worked at this event, displaying not only our logo on the front, but all of our sponsors on the back!
- Limited edition official "2024 Pirate's Beer Run" pint glass! Every time you drink a beer or anything else from this glass, you will remember the fun times you had with us. Emblazoned with our logo of course.
- Not so limited-edition official "0.5K Pirate's Beer Run" euro-style oval sticker. Stick to your car or anywhere to show your superiority over others.
- Optional Addons: Dog Bandana & Spent Grain Dog Treat, Extra 2024 Pint Glass, Extra 0.5K Stickers, 2021-2023 Pint Glasses (white supplies last)

You mentioned beer? Yes! Through our partnership with Hop Culture Farms & Brew Co you will receive a pour of one of their amazing craft beers. They are also hosting this event for us, so you will "run" (or walk, skip, whatever you prefer) around their property for the 0.5K, ending just steps away from their tasting room. With a variety of styles on tap at all times there is surely something you will love. Present your Beer Ticket (to be found in your pint glass) at the bar in the tasting room for your beer. Note: Not all beers may be available with the beer ticket.

What about that donut? We are still working on arranging our 2024 Donut Partner, so we don't yet know where your after-run donut will be from! After the "run" you may pick up your donut at our Donut Tent. (Which will look exactly like our check-in tent.)
