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.
