*** Due to Fortnight Brewing's viewing party for the US team's World Cup game on Saturday, the afterparty is now at Torero's Restaurant. ***
Benefitting US Veterans Corps Toys for Lil' Troops
We're proud to bring back one of Fit & Able's favorite holiday races! The Fortnight Before Christmas will be all virtual BUT the in-person post-race party is still going down at Torero's Restaurant on Saturday December 3rd!
Toys For Lil Troops is a program that provides toys specifically to the children of low income and deployed troops. Every year, the US Veterans Corps delivers these toys to local military installations. We also deliver toys year round to the children of Veteran and First Responder famililes in need through the Shop with a Cop and Shop with a Sheriff programs.
All runners will get a Fortnight Before Christmas knit hat or Cool Santa hat & sunglasses, souvenir glass, and a pair of Cozy Toes socks at the party. Or just sign up for the party and get the knit hat, souvenir pint glass, beverages, and food!
Food and beverages for registered participants at the post-race party as well! We will also be collecting toys and donations for the US Veterans Corps' Toys 4 Lil' Troops toy drive to help them provide a merry Christmas for children of deployed troops.
You can find more information for the VIRTUAL race in the menu above. Scroll down for more details about how you can win great prizes and swag by referring people to sign up with you!
Come join us for a unique race and enjoy some great beers at Torero's!
