There’s a time and place for everything. And while some ambitious athletes may spring for the down-and-dirty Tough Mudder or the ultra-challenging IRONMAN Triathlon, some Stowe-area runners know how to get their sweat on and have a little fun. The Craft Brew Races in Stowe invite walkers and sprinters alike to pound out a timed 5K, then beat the heat with a full-on beer festival. Suds from 45 local and regional fermenters help active bodies cool off and loosen up, while food-truck fare aids in soaking up the brews. Top that off with the smooth vocal stylings of Josh Panda, and you’ve got yourself one heck of a day.
