1st Annual Hendersonville Ecusta Trail Craftbeer Run

1st Annual Hendersonville Ecusta Trail Craftbeer Run

Hendersonville Run Club and the Blue Ridge Craftbeer Club are co-hosting the 1st Annual Hendersonville Ecusta Trail Craftbeer Run!

Plan to start at Dry Falls Brewing at Noon sharp. We will run (riders welcome too) along the Ecusta Trail with our first beer stop at Trailside Brewing. We will then continue on to our next beer stop at the Guidon Brewing Outpost by Elijah’s Gem Mine. Our third beer stop will be at the 6-mile (halfway point) at Packa’s Place in Horse Shoe. We will hang out there a little while before we head back along the Ecusta Trail towards Hendersonville. Our next stop will be Southern Streams Coffee for a beverage of your choice (beer preferably). Then we take the final leg back to Dry Falls Brewing for food and you guessed it – another beer to wrap things up and celebrate! The course is 12 miles total (6 out and 6 back) and includes 5 local drinking establishments.
