Sweetwater 420 Festival 5K Beer Run is happening April 18 at Centennial Olympic Park-Atlanta

CENTENNIAL OLYMPIC PARK

Give a new meaning to the term “beer run” by joining us for the 11th Annual SweetWater 420 Festival 5K on April 18, 2015 at 9 AM at Centennial Olympic Park!

That’s right, SweetWater 420 Fest is back and with its BIGGEST lineup and headlining acts to date. Join us as we celebrate our 11th anniversary right here in the heart of Atlanta.

Guess what?? Beer immediately after the race is back (drink ticket redeemable for beer–21+ only–or soft drinks/bottled water)…plus a brand-spankin’ new course (minimal hills) to shake things up! So jump on it ‘cause the number of entries for this year’s race is limited and may sell out quickly.

Awards given to top male and female runners in each age group starting with 10 and under and increasing in increments of five to 70 plus.
