INAUGURAL DOCK INVITATIONAL 🍻🌌
MAY 2 1PM
Gardner Lake State Park, Salem, CT
We are literally inviting you to come run trail (yes, a legit one)…
and also maybe help us put our dock in for the season.
You heard that correctly.
PROMISES:
Miles ✔️
Beer ✔️
Docking ✔️
Wetness ✔️
THE DETAILS:
🏃♂️ ~4 mile-ish hash-style trail (marked, mostly accurate)
🍺 Sacred beer/mead stop at Hopemead
🌲 Roads, woods, campground, and questionable decisions
💦 You will probably get wet
THE FINE PRINT:
Doggable: Totally 🐕
Shiggy: Not unless you are stupid
Cash & ID: Nada
Extra clothes & socks: Absolutely necessary
You are not required to help install the dock…
…but it will be happening.
And you might walk away with some cool swag if you do.
We also fully support those who prefer to supervise with a drink in hand and cheer others on loudly.
🔥 POST-RUN SOCIAL AT OUR HOUSE (58 Lakeview Ave Salem):
Bring:
Your own booze 🍻
Chairs
A dish or snacks to share
Warm clothes (it’s going to be “character building” weather)
This is not a race.
This is not serious.
This is a social adventure with mild athletic effort and strong reward potential.
Come for the trail.
Stay for the drinks.
Accidentally help with a dock.
ON-ON 🍻
