Alpha Dog Running & Drinking Club – September Fun Run
RUN LIKE YOU STOLE IT! Or like there’s booze at the end… because there is. The Alpha Dog Running & Drinking Club is a fun run that brings together the community, businesses and nonprofit organizations. Our inaugural run on September 23 features d’Vine Gourmet and Arizona Helping Hands. ROUTE The 3-mile loop will start and end at d’Vine Gourmet (Alma School Road and Chandler Heights Road). If you’re feeling good, make it two loops. If you want to walk or quality check the wine, turn around at the 1-mile mark. Miles and turns will be clearly marked. We expect runners and walkers of ALL speeds. Strollers and dogs are welcome, too (if it’s not too hot). Of course dogs will be asked to stay outside the shop. After the run, d’Vine will host a private wine and beer tasting for us. So yes, there is booze at the end! And juice boxes for youngsters. Everyone who participates will be entered into a raffle for prizes from d’Vine and Alpha Chiropractic. Those who bring a donation will be entered into an additional raffle for more d’Vine prizes. We’ll also have discount codes for the Gilbert Marathon and will give away a race entry. And the best part – it’s all FREE!
