...is undecided! Which really just means it took me to the last minute to update the blog!
We'll meet at the steps on the south side of the Narberth train station at 6:30. We'll finish the run at McShea's.
Between those two places we'll run about three miles.
See you there!

The ChesLen Chase
Interested in something different? How about a trail run to benefit a great cause?
Natural Lands Trust is holding the first race at one of their nature preserves on October 25th, at the ChesLen preserve in Unionville, PA, with Victory Brewing bringing the after party. Here's some info from NLT's race website, but see below for some photos and a 10K course preview!
ChesLen Chase for Open Space
Saturday, October 25, 2014
Get ready to run for nature at Natural Lands Trust’s epic ChesLen Chase for Open Space, with 10K, 5K and 1.5-Mile Fun Run-Walk! This challenging trail run through our picturesque, 1,263-acre ChesLen Preserve includes steep hills, creek crossings, woodlands, and open fields. The fun continues after crossing the finish line with a post-race party at ChesLen’s Lenfest Center, featuring live music, beer, BBQ, an awards ceremony, and more!
Register on-line by clicking the link below. Or download, complete and mail-in the ChesLen Chase for Open Space Registration Form.
The 10K course is beautiful, interesting and extremely challenging! The course traverses rolling Chester County hills, meadows, cornfields and woodlands. Three monster hills and a creek crossing will test runners of all abilities.
 |
| The first mile or so of the course follows tractor paths through rolling fields of soy. |
 |
| How many race courses pass a potter's field?! |
 |
| A portion of the course follows the main stem of the Brandywine Creek. |
 |
| Corn! Which will likely be harvested by race day... |
 |
| The ChesLen Preserve features lots of big sky. |
 |
| Into the woods! |
 |
| Yes, this is part of the course…your feet will get wet. |
 |
| Through a few more fields... |
 |
| …and up Cannery Road to the finish line! But not so fast…just around this bend is the largest and steepest hill on the course. |

Last Run/ Next Run
On September 3rd, the Narberth Beer Runners finally made it out to the Pub of Penn Valley! We were warmly received by this guy…
….and the PPV staff as well. Despite no one ordering dinner, our waiter graciously gave us a few baskets of bread, as he noted that, "runners need their carbs." True.
It was a great night for a run, beers and bread out on the patio!
Hope for good weather again for our next run, Wednesday, September 17th, when we run to the Great American Pub! As always, meet on the steps on the south side of the Narberth train station at 6:30. Thanks to Ryan for leading the run this week!

FBR in the News...
Information about the Narberth Beer Runners next run will be posted here soon. In the meantime, check out this article from philly.com. Our friends the Fishtown Beer Runners were the focus of a nice piece in the Daily News, written by their beer reporter, Joe Sixpack.
"DID YOU know," Jon Lyons, a sales rep for New York's Southern Tier Brewery, was saying the other night, "that the first person to run a marathon actually died at the end of the run?"
Yo, I'm as big a fan of Greek tragedy as the next guy, and I'm somewhat familiar with the fable of the heroic messenger, Pheidippides, who collapsed upon reaching his destination. But this bit of trivia was not what I needed to hear 10 minutes before sprinting into the deathly heat and humidity of a Philadelphia summer evening.
We would be running far fewer than a marathon's 26 miles. Closer to 3 miles, in fact. Yet, the 40 or so fit, svelte runners limbering up on the sidewalk in front of a Fishtown rowhouse looked for all the world that they could make it to Athens.
Hard to believe that they were all ardent beer drinkers.
