Get ready to run, slurp, and sip at the 2nd Annual Bivalves and Brews 5K! This isn’t your average 5K—at each mile marker, daring participants have the option to chug a brew and swallow an oyster, making for a race that’s as entertaining as it is questionable (depending on your taste buds). Whether you’re in it for the speed, the spectacle, or just the shellfish, this is one run you won’t forget.
