Discover Lansdale's annual event invited runners to dress up for the run and stay for beer and music.

Nothing goes together better than running and beer.

Underachievers gathered at Round Guys Brewery Sunday afternoon for a day of glory and celebration to raise money for the Lansdale Freight House restoration, with the annual Frachthaus Zer0.5k race and Oktoberfest.

The event was promoted by Discover Lansdale as a fun, tongue-in-cheek event that will lampoon the typical 5k.

Entry to Oktoberfest at $5 per person went toward the restoration fund for Lansdale Freight House, eyed as a future event space and moneymaker for Discover Lansdale.
