What to expect

From the organizer

The Distillery Dash is the first in a three part XC series collaborating with local distilleries, breweries and wineries! Sign up early for the lowest prices, and Run for Bourbon!

The Distillery Dash will feature a 5k and 10k cross-country race options at beautiful Masterson Station Park. All participants will receive a race t-shirt, finisher's award, and a bourbon tasting drink ticket.

Participants under 21 will receive all portions of the finisher award except for the tasting tickets.

The afterparty will run until 10:00 p.m., so hang around for music, bourbon tastings, drink sales, food trucks, and a great time! Register for all three races in the series for a special finisher's award at the end of the series!

The 5k will be open to walkers, but we will enforce a cutoff pace of 16 minutes/mile for the 10k due to concerns with sunset.
