This is the chance to see all the action: from the seeded runners taking off after the gun to the last wave of strollers and walkers inching their way through the crowds. There will be a grab and go patio brunch and a la carte options, plus a DJ will be spinning beats to amp up the runners on the course.

If running is not your thing, hole up under the covered patio and watch everyone else suffer while you chow down on a traditional Southern brunch of shrimp and grits, fried chicken and waffles and steak and eggs.

This is where you'll see runners kick it into high gear, as they stride down 10th Street to the finish line (and beer!) But for a festive icy drink, come here for the red, white and blue margaritas or get buzzed with the "Mexican lunch box" featuring a Tecate beer and tequila shot for $5.
