Runners, Get Ready for the Alamo City Beer Challenge!
Yes, if you are a marathon or half marathon runner, then, this is the race you want to enter this weekend. This is an 8K and 16K running event to help raise funds for thousands of patients who suffer from blood diseases like leukemia. A bone marrow transplant is the best means for a cure. Donations can be made online for the Battle at Mac Park too.

Alamo City Beer Challenge This second race will be taking place this Saturday, August 4, 2012 at 6:30 P.M. at McAllister Park, and is being themed as, “The Battle of Mac Park 8K/16K”. McAllister Park is located at 13102 Jones Maltsberger, and participants may call 210-207-7275 for more information, or register for this event at Alamo City Beer Challenge.

Food will be provided by Highlander Bar and reps from Alamo Beer and Ranger Creek will be on hand to talk about brewing. Age groups: 20 and under, 21-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, and 60-plus, with awards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places.

A very worthy cause I am sure. 8K and 16K are long races and will warrant a beer later! I am sure you will be there!

Hi Andrea. Would love to have you here for a visit, and my hats off to your Dad for being a Marathon runner. I could never run more than a 10K race myself back in my Army days. I am more of a walker and donator these days.

Thanks, Karen Anne. I just love getting the word out for events that have a very worthy cause. Leukemia is a deadly blood disease, and any donations to help fight and find a cure is well worth the efforts.

Have a Wonderful Day!

Another great localism post, Jerry. I remember touring the Shiner Brewing company during our last visit to San Antonia area.

Good cause to promote, too. My grandfather died of leukemia & skin cancer.

Now, Kevin. That's a very interesting question. I would have to inquire about that one. It would be a A Ha moment for many runners, I am sure.
