Talk turns to Action - Byron Community Fund will Benefit!

A couple of years of chatter have passed regarding a Team R.E.D. Beer Mile... well... drum roll please!   

The Beer Mile is Here!   http://www.active.com/running/byron-mn/team-red-beer-mile-2013   You must be at least 21 years of age to participate.  Many Thanks to Jen and Dan for pulling it together! 

This has fun written all over it!  It's being held at the Bears Den in Byron on July 18th, the first night of Byron Good Neighbor Days Weekend!    We'll have a great time testing ourselves while raising money for the Byron Community Foundation!    You'll see on the registration, there is also a registration for spectators... beer is included for the spectators, so get registered!

• Critical Note: We want everyone to be safe at this event, which is why the waiver requires you to name a sober driver.  Be smart and be safe!  

For training purposes.. here is a video of an Olympic Runner trying to set the world record... another thing worth noting.. he was of legal age and had a sober driver!   Oh, and he's an Olympic runner.. so when you set your time goal, you can go for the record, or adjust accordingly.
