Community Celebration

Our community, friends, and partners celebrating the upcoming Pints For Paws!

Tonight at 6:30PM, the crew at @oaklandbeerrunners is back at @rusticales_oaklandarbor for their bimonthly run through Old Oakland. Runners will take on a 4.8-mile route around Lake Merritt, with a shorter 5K option available, before heading back for drinks and snacks at the beer bar afterwards.

@berkeleyhumane will also be joining tonight’s run to share a little more about @pintsforpaws happening Saturday, June 6. Dogs, beer, community, and a good excuse to get outside? Sounds like a solid Tuesday night to us.

For more info on tonight’s run, check the Oakland Beer Runners Linktree for details.
