Notch To Participate in Craft Brew Races

WORCESTER, MA – Notch Brewery will be among dozens of Massachusetts breweries pouring samples at the Craft Brew Races in Worcester on April 29.

This is the race's third consecutive year. A portion of the proceeds from the Worcester Craft Brew Race will be donated to Preservation Worcester.

More than 1,400 craft brew lovers participated in the sold-out event in 2016, and the event is expected to reach capacity again in 2017. The run starts at noon, with the festival doors opening at 12:30. All 5K participants and festival-goers receive a pint glass and entry to the festival — including beer sampling, live music, vendors and food trucks selling onsite. All designated driver ticket-holders receive a different bracelet at registration, and are welcome to enjoy the festival, designated snacks, and non-alcoholic beverages.

The Worcester Craft Brew Race course is 3.1 mile/5K run (or walk) that starts at City Hall, heads down Chandler St., turns North on Park Ave. past Elm Park, before ultimately heading back down Pleasant St. with a finish at the Worcester Common on Front St. The beer festival will take place at the Worcester Common against the backdrop of downtown Worcester. Designated driver and festival-only tickets are available.

More than 45 breweries will be pouring samples of their brews at the festival, in addition to nearly 20 food and product vendors. Visit craftbrewraces.com for a full vendor list and tickets.
