Well, that was a loooong winter, I don’t know about you but we have a bit of cabin fever. Fortunately we have the remedy… food trucks, exercise, family fun and beer all together at one of Warren’s best spots.

Get ready to lace ‘em up and join the party! The BWEF Food Truck 5k is back, Saturday, May 9 (that’s the day before Mother’s Day). BWEF initiated this event to appeal to the serious runner, weekend warrior, casual walker and food-truck fanatic, hopefully something for everyone, yourself included.

We’ve arranged a beautiful 5k around the Warren Reservoir, a picturesque 1-Mile Walk on the bike path — as well as Kids Races on the Kickemuit MS Track! All followed by a Food Truck festival, beer garden, live music, hot-air balloon rides and general merriment at the Pete Sepe Pavilion! So join the fun!
