"A perfect race on a perfect day..."  273 runners finished MBC's 5K Beer Run helped raise thousands of dollars and a lot of awareness for prostate health and the Sparrow Foundation Saturday, June 14th.  "This is now my absolute favorite race of the summer - and a great way to get my Dad and my husband out to run on Father's Day weekend," said Kim Sutton, an MSU grad' student.  

The race brought hundreds of runners, volunteers, their families & friends to MBC's 76,000 square foot brewery located in the Webberville Business Park, in Webberville, Michigan. The runners once again ran the multi-terrain course, looping around the business park, its pond and preserves.

MBC thanks all of the 2008 Beer Run sponsors who made this another fantastic event: Playmakers, who provided the race expertise, the music and stats; Merindorf Meats who provided all the bratwurst - (and Mr. & Mrs. Merindorf, too!); Culvers brought in the frozen m-m-m-m vanilla & chocolate custard; J.America Sportswear pitched in for the t-shirt artwork; Great Gazebo.com helped with banners and signage and thanks to Wormels & Comstock PLLC and Quality Maid.

And thanks to ALL the volunteers, led by the Queen of Volunteers, Karen Eisele, who came out to help everyone have a great time for a great cause! 

See y'all next year!
