Celebrating athletic achievement that betters ourselves, our teammates, and our community.
The monthly Beer Mile is going stronger than ever. If you are wondering what exactly the beer mile is or have been hesitant about going let us tell you a little about it. SBCA's monthly beer mile consists of Springfield Brewing Company award-wining craft beer and running a quarter of a mile around SBC's The Cellar/ Springfield Brewing Company. Do that four times and whoever has the fastest time wins a 6-pack in both male and female categories. It is always a great time for both participants and spectators.
November 6th we have a great event coming and that is to Ride Across MO in a Day! We can't imagine a better way to see Missouri in the fall than under your own power and in the company of like-minded adventurers.
There were a lot of familiar faces at BT epic this weekend. Just like the name says it was epic...the people, the route, the party, the memories.
