Event
Blind Lady 11th Anniversary CAPE RUN!
**It's BAAAACCKKKKK! And DIFFEREENNNNTTTT!!!!
Here is how this works. We meet at Blind Lady Ale House, which incidentally turns ELEVEN.
You check in between 9:30 and 10am. Don't be later than 10am. You receive your BAG O' SCHWAG, your race number with it's detachable drink tickets and your route map. You bring your own cape.
At 10am-ish we take pictures and then head off in two different packs one group THE HARES will run about 3 miles out, to their first stop and the other team THE TURTLES will run about 2 miles out to their first stop. You will run with your team more or less. You will pass the other team on the way back. And as in previous years, you will respectfully mock them if you so desire.
At each bar you will turn in a beer ticket that is attached to your bib in exchange for a beer. You could bring dollar bills with you for additional tips, because it's nice. But if you can't, know that a portion of your race entry fee will go to each bar's staff. When your team captain says it's time to leave, you probably go with them. We do this two more times, at two more bars.
Eventually BOTH TEAMS will return to Blind Lady, your final stop, where you will still have a drink ticket left to use. And there you will receive your final beer.
All this will likely go down in the Hamm's Room but you folks overwhelm the place anyway so...
The whole thing will take at least two+ hours (or more) to complete because, hey, there is beer involved. Once at BLAH we will NOT call a victor because you are all winners.
We reserve the right to be slightly disorganized even after all this time. But here is the thing: it's DANG fun to run the streets of San Diego wearing a cape in a large pack of people. And it's also DANG fun to run and stop to drink a beer, or four. It's fun.
Here is the important part that we do take seriously-- Please act responsibly and don't use the beer/run thing as an excuse for being belligerent or rude or not following traffic laws. Be a good human.
And please be kind to your bartenders and fellow runners.
Don't expect it to be a perfectly organized race event. It's a moderately organized drinking event with some running and capes.
Also you have to be 21 or older, but you knew that.
When signing up you will have to choose your team THE HARES (a six mile run) or the TURTLES (a four mile run.) You will also be asked to tell us your shirt sizes when you order -- please note that the women's shirts run a little small (but not as small as American Apparel has run!) and the men's shirts run normal. Damn patriarchy. Please tell us too, what size shirts ALL of the people you are buying tickets for need. It isn't enough to just tell us yours when you are buying 4 tickets!
Questions? We bet ya got 'em. Email us- clea@blindladyalehouse.com
Oh and remember, we have to limit participants because of space in the bars/restaurants and this does sell out. So don't wait! xoxo
