On your mark, get set, go . . . to the first beer station. The fifth annual Taylor Veterans 5K Beer Run, hosted by the American Legion Graham D. Luhn Post 39 in Taylor, is set for Saturday, Nov. 5 in Murphy Park. The race is open to anyone who wants to participate. The course is 3.1 miles with eight beer stations throughout the race. Each station has water and a 4-ounce taster, which equates to two and half beers during the race. Runners are not required to drink beer. For those in the beer run category, once the runner has finished their beer, their card is stamped and returned to the runner who heads to the next station. The card will be verified at the finish line and a “Beer” champion will be crowned. There will be one male and one female winner in the beer run category.
