Blue Skies and Free Beer Reward Runners and Walkers Following Vigorous Race

The fourth annual Atlanta BeltLine Eastside 10K got off to a wet start, but everyone had a fantastic time and was rewarded at the finish line with blue skies, coffee, and a free beer for those of age.

Nearly 1,000 runners and walkers registered for the event, and as the morning dried out, the energy in the crowd was palpable following the vigorous run and the spirited tunes of B98.5.

Kudos to all of our runners and walkers who came out despite the rain to enjoy and participate in the Eastside 10k. Winners took home the fourth and final coaster in the Atlanta BeltLine Trails Coaster set.
