In The Long Run

Fund-Raisers Are Not Tired, Just Groggy

Only in Wisconsin do beer and exercise mix. Several hundred people laced up for a 2km charity race in which suds were the refresher of choice. Competitors in the 19th annual Beer Belly Two might not be considered athletes, but they know how to have a good time. Event veteran Mike Marin said this is one workout he can really get into. The race has raised more than $350,000 for local charities since its inception.

FOOTNOTE: Everyone gets into the, er, spirit of it.

Oh, ugh. I can't even imagine trying to run and cool down with beer at the same time. I'd be sweating like a mad woman.

G'day Goddess,

Let's see. Run 200m, stop, guzzle beer, run 200m, stop, guzzle beer, run choohunnered beaters, shop, grizzly bear, - oh, the hangover!

That's why I'm the only Aussie who doesn't drink.

Cheers

David
