1st Ever Fun Run for DC Beer Week!

This family-friendly, go any way you want event is being co-hosted by Right Proper and Red Bear, along with their neighbor REI. It will follow an approximately two-mile course along the Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT) from Right Proper in Brookland down to Red Bear/REI in NoMa.
