TWIN CITIES WEEKEND PREVIEW — KEEPING YOU BUSY ✔

Today is June 6th

Here is what’s going on in the Twin Cities this weekend.

Sponsored Event: Brewery Running Series® 🍺🏃‍♂️

As a runner myself, there are few things better than going for a jog and capping it off with a delicious beer. The Brewery Running Series® makes it easy to do just that this summer. With 25+ “fun runs” taking place throughout the Twin Cities this summer and fall, you’ll have the chance to get active while trying new breweries across the metro. I will personally be attending the June 29th event at Surly Brewing.
