On June 10, 2012 we hosted our first-ever Hoods in the Woods 5k trail run at Paradise Farm Camps.
Our restaurant general manager, Matt Krueger, conceived of this event as a way to bring people together for an exciting and unique event to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. More than 600 runners signed up to run through treacherous terrain. Along the way, they were surprised by natural hazards and a few staged challenges as well (like a man wielding a chainsaw).
We heard from many racers that this course was one of the most challenging they’d ever faced. We’re pretty proud of that.
Luckily for the runners, after completing the crazy course, they were greeted by our restaurant staff and our Brewpub on Wheels, serving BBQ and cold beer. No matter what place the competitors finished, they were served a Victory!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this inaugural race. Because of your participation, we were able to make a significant contribution to LLS and aid in their quest to find a Victory Over Cancer.

There’s some good spin, buddy
Tough course and start time, but good times and good cause.
thanks for a great event…a bit hot for my liking, but a fun time for a great cause! very well organized for a first-time event. went out and bought a case of Summer Love the next day!
Thanks, you thirsty fleet feet, for the participation and comments! We are trying to get the course designer, who ran it like 7 times, to be more sympathetic for 2013 run. It may take us that long to convince him, BUT, we have beer…
