Penticton Beer Run (Oct. 5)
Saturday morning marks the Penticton Beer Run, one of the signature events every year during Penticton Beer Week.
Around 500 people are expected to take part in the event, which tasks teams of several people to hit 10 breweries and local eateries during a 10-kilometre run. It will start at Abandoned Rail Brewing along KVR Trail.
There will also be an option for a six-kilometre run and costumes are encouraged.
Along with the aforementioned Penticton-based breweries, Oliver's Firehall Brewery and Summerland's Giant's Head and Detonate will take part in the event.
