As described by the event itself, teams of four will race between Happy Beer Street and the Garneau location of Farrow, with each team member running to the shop, grabbing a sandwich, and racing it back to the base. Each team will collectively run 21 kilometres, with every individual member running around five kilometres.
If you’re up for the challenge, now is the time to start creating a team. The Edmonton event will be held this upcoming Sept. 19, so while there is still time to plan, it’s also time to set it in motion.
Tickets are currently on an early-bird sale, with team tickets (for four people) being $74.09. Prices of general admission tickets will increase on Aug. 10, and spectator tickets will go on sale on Aug. 12 for $12.58.
Those on teams, your tickets will include a limited-edition Hoagie Half t-shirt, a hoagie, a welcome beer, and entry to the huge after-party with DJs, drinks, and even more prizes.
