Briar Chase Cross

A Thursday night 5k spring series is held at Portch Tea kombucha farm in Emmaus, PA. The course is 2.5km per lap, and each week, we run 2 laps for a total of 5km (give or take!). Each week, we run in the opposite direction to shake it up and give you variety. Points are awarded each week, with the bunny ears crown awarded to the runners with the most points overall.

Post-Race Chill

Every runner will receive free Bright Path Brewing cans while supplies last (limit 2!). All runners get $1 off additional kombucha per night. Don DeVault's mom will make something for the crockpot, too, which is a suggested donation of $5 if you can. You can make a night of it!

Bright Path Brewing Company is back as a sponsor of the event. All beer is complimentary to 21+ participants. Tag @brightpathbrewing on your social!
