Brooklyn 5 mile pub run or walk or crawl drinking beer every mile part II

I did this course last year and I have already posted a run and drinking event in November through Greenpoint, Williamsburg and Bushwick but I want to try to do 3 this year during the months in which I run which is late fall, winter and early spring. I have modified the Park Slope-Windsor Terrace-Kensington-Ditmas Park course this year. I added another mile to the course and another pub. Also this makes it easy for those who can't run with us because of the marathon on the first beer run which takes place the day before it.

We will run about 5 miles. We will meet at Atlantic Center at noon. We will then proceed to run for about 0.6 miles to Bierkraft and drink some beer and do this 4 more times in 4 other bars.

You are welcome to walk it or crawl it.

This is the best excuse for drinking beer! We will meet inside the LIRR station on Atlantic Ave. You can take the B, D, N, R, Q, 2, 3, 4, 5 trains to Atlantic-Barclays Center. We will meet in the common area upstairs near the entrances to the LIRR Atlantic Ave Station.

My number if you can't find us is 347-683-1242.

This course hits one of my favorite runs. It's early December. All the leaves are brown and perhaps the sky will be gray. Part of the course involves running in Prospect Park. There is something magical about running in Prospect Park when leaves are brown and the air is crispy cold.

Here is the route:

1. Atlantic Terminal-Barclays Center to Bierkraft (191 Fifth Ave)

Run south on Flatbush, make a right on Fifth Ave (.6 miles)

2. Bierkraft to Double Windsor (210 Prospect Park West)

East on Fifth Ave then left on Union St and right on Prospect Park West until you hit the traffic circle. Beer craft is right after you cross the traffic circle. (1.6 miles)

3. Double Windsor to Greenwood Tavern (555 7th Ave)

Right on 16th St and then left on 7th Ave (.6 miles)

4. Greenwood Tavern to Shenanigans Pub (802 Caton Ave)

Run on 20th St south then slight right onto McDonald St then left on Caton Ave (1.4 miles)

5. Shenanigans Pub to Sycamore (1118 Cortelyou Rd)

Run east on Caton Ave turn right on Coney Island Ave then left on Albermarle Rd then right on Westminster. Once you hit Cortelyou Rd, the bar with be on your left. (0.8 miles)

The Sycamore lets people bring food from the outside. There are a few really good choices around such as Cinco de Mayo (Mexican), Mimi's Hummus (Israeli) and The Farm On Adderley.

This event will take about 5 hours. The more people drink the harder it is to get them to go back to running. The first pub usually take 20 to 30 minutes to get in an out. By the next to last one it is usually one hour until everyone is ready so plan accordingly. We should be done by 6 or so but I'm sure we'll hang out later than that.
