Beginning the last Wednesday of March and continuing as tradition on the last Wednesday of every month through Sept. 30, Delray Beach Running Company is launching its Tap It On The Ave. Pub Run.
Runners can get a little exercise while running to top tap destinations on Atlantic Avenue. Sponsors include Vintage Tap, Bru’s Room, Johnnie Browns,Boston’s on the Beach, Hudson at Waterway East and Park Tavern.
Registration for Tap It On The Ave. is a one-time fee of $25. Runners or walkers can sign up anytime between now and September. Tap It On The Ave. starts at 6:30 p.m. The evening run begins and ends at Delray Beach Running Company (20 W. Atlantic Ave., Suite 101, Delray Beach).
Register and you’ll receive a commemorative Nike Tech shirt, as well as samplings of what’s on tap at each of the establishments. Don’t forget your ID and to wear reflective clothing, so you’re visible to cars when the sun goes down.
