Harpoon 5 Miler

2011 Race review...  Harpoon 5 Miler

"Sure you've run some races, but i bet you never danced after a race". Lish said it well. The Harpoon 5 miler is a must do race! For $40, you get 3 free beers, a race tee shirt, Bertuchis catering, Sausages Guys sausages,  and an urge to dance in your gym shorts!


Family, friends, friends of friends all came together to run a little, and drink more. For me this was the first race my brother and i raced together in. The McCarthy's rocked out! Older bro placed 592 out of 3300 while i was able to use my chicken legs to finish in the top 10. Team V, (what the V stands for is still up for debate, but for now we will refer to as Very Fast) finished 11th out of the 150 teams.

Harpoon organized a great race and a better party. There was about 10 draft stations offering fresh Harpoon beer to all the runners. In addition, age group winners( which i was lucky enough to be one,  won additional beer. I will take a case of UFO over a trophy any day!
