Columbia’s Cold Brew Half(ish) Marathon 12.16.2023

Have you ever been to #Coffeteria before the workout? Do you enjoy taking part in the 2nd F just as much or more than the 1st? Do you often get bored on a the weekend and find yourself looking for some fun?

Well, if you answered Yes, Maybe, or huh? to any of those questions boy do we have the event for you. The 5th Annual Columbia Cold Brew Half (ish) Marathon. This is more of an event than a race. It is meant to be a fun afternoon of fellowship and fun with some exercise as a byproduct of the necessary means of transportation.

(just ask anybody that did it in years past how much fun they had and at what point the cold brews starting kicking in….)

WHAT’S THE DEAL:

Meet at the All Good Books (734 Harden St.) in Five Points around 10:30 for event instructions and to enjoy a Cold Brew or drip coffee. Once the bookstore coffees are down we will hit the road for the real fun. We will start the run at 11:00am.  As you may have guessed from the event title this is a Half marathon(ish)(12.87 miles). You will start from AGBs and make your way to Craft and Draft for a cold pint. Once there, order your favorite tap and enjoy. After you have finished the suds you will get back on the road and wrap your way around to The Hangar. Rinse and repeat on the fellowship and beverage. Then you will make way over to Columbia Craft for a brew and conversation. After departing from there you will make way to  Savage Craft in West Columbia. After enjoying your 4th brewski, pop down to the river and wind around to Steel Hands Brewery to the Columbia Cold Brew Half(ish) Marathon finish line. You are not done yet. Jog it on inside (or outdoor bar) for a cold one! Once that brew is down you have finished the 5th and highly anticipated Columbia Cold Brew Half(ish) Marathon. Sit back enjoy the after party and wait to swap stories and lies with your F3 brothers and any one else that may join us(EH them if you can).

******Please plan to be dropped off to All Good Books and picked up from Steel Hands if possible. (We would love to have your  families waiting for a fun after party) or plan for an Uber.*******

****** Note: you can park at All Good Books for drop off, but you cannot park there for the day (and, again, shouldn’t drive anyway)******

****You do not have to drink to be a part of the event. We will have an unofficial category for those who may want to run and not drink or run and not drink all 5 of the brews(6 if you count the coffee)*****

****Bring your ID and Credit Card (cash is just gonna get moist and no bartender wants your moist stank money)****
