BALANCE YOUR BEERS 2026
Join Sloop Brewing Co., Fleet Feet of Poughkeepsie, & the Eastern Dutchess Road Runners Club for another January of addition, not restriction.
Find balance this New Year!
Balance your Beers is an annual , all-levels January activity challenge focused on finding ways to add, not subtract! Founded in 2024 as a way for local folks in the Mid-Hudson region to connect over a shared love of running/walking and great beer, Miles & Brews run club furthers that goal every January with Balance your Beers, creating opportunities to get out, get active, connect with the community, and balance your beers!
Participants must complete at least 4 pre-selected activities organized by Sloop or our partners during the month of January in order to qualify for a prize in February! Activities are tracked and logged on your BYB26 card. Cards can be picked up at Sloop Brewing Co.’s tasting room or at the Poughkeepsie location of Fleet Feet! Submit the form below to complete your registration and make sure you get your stamp when you attend an event! Prizes will be distributed to all participants with 4 stamps by 2/1 in February at the weekly Wednesday Miles & Brews meetup at Sloop!
