POST-RACE BEER GARDEN presented by Finnegan's 
Remember to bring your photo ID and cash for the post-race St. Patrick's Day Beer Garden presented by FINNEGANS Irish Amber! Each participant of legal age gets a free 10 oz. cup of FINNEGANS. Buy additional 16 oz. cups for just $3 and help support our local community. Every penny of profit from a pint of FINNEGANS is donated to the FINNEGANS Community Fund, a 501(c)3 nonprofit which, in turn, disburses grants and such to dozens of local charities fighting poverty. For more information, visit www.finnegans.org.

RESULTS
