D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., America’s Oldest Brewery, will hold its 7th annual Yuengling Light Lager Jogger 5k walk and run on Saturday, April 27, 2019 at 9 a.m.
Launched in 2013, the Yuengling Light Lager Jogger 5k is the only race to start and finish at America's Oldest Brewery. The popular race brings 3,500 participants to Pottsville, and sells out within 48 hours. All participants will receive a Yuengling Light Lager Jogger branded pint glass, official race t-shirt, two Yuengling Light Lagers (21+), free brewery tours and admission to the post-race party with live music, food and entertainment.
For the seventh year in a row, a portion of proceeds from the race registration and charity raffle will go directly to Operation Gratitude, a nonprofit focused on forging strong bonds between Americans and their Military and First Responder heroes through volunteer service projects, acts of gratitude, and meaningful engagements in communities nationwide. A letter writing station will be available at the finish line for all attendees to write notes of support and appreciation, which will be included in care packages to service members, veterans and their families.
Free tours of America’s Oldest Brewery are also available on Thursday, April 25 and Friday, April 26. Fans are invited to celebrate Yuengling’s 190th anniversary and explore the historic Pottsville brewery, including its hand-dug fermentation caves, originally used in the 1800s for refrigeration, and newly renovated Gift Ship and Museum.
Parking will be free to all runners on race day at the Union Station lot, the 84 Lumber lot, the Ramada Pottsville lot and the One Norwegian Plaza lot (all less than a 5-minute walk from the starting line).
