Beer Run: April 24

by Pat Cross, Chancellor of Libations

Beer Run for a Cause? Like we need an excuse to have a Beer Run.
Still our April Beer Run will give us all a chance to help out a great
cause, and give us an excuse to have a bit of fun. In April we get to Run 4 Kids! We will have a 3 and 5 mile loop starting from Buffalo Wild Wings
(2615 Radio Way - in front of Home Depot). Buffalo Wild Wings will be
donating 20% of all sales for the day (with a coupon) to Missoula's Youth
Homes. Please join us after the run for your favorite beverage, wings or
whatever sparks you. Please join in the fun. If you can't join us for the
run, grab a coupon and get out for lunch or dinner. Coupons will be
available at the run as well as Runner's Edge and the RWM office throughout April.
