Firestone Walker beers will be available in the 15C Booth at the Wildflower Experience festival and the finish line of the inaugural Wildflower 5K for adults 21 and over..

“Wildflower’s unique atmosphere of an active lifestyle, strong community, and celebration is a perfect pairing with our favorite neighborhood brewery, Firestone Walker Brewing Company,” said Race Director, Colleen Bousman. “Many athletes can attest to the deliciousness of a cold brew after a long workout and we are thrilled to offer that combination at the festival.”

Wildflower 5K runners, over the age of 21, will receive a complimentary celebration beer. As athletes swap race stories and memories they can sip Firestone Walker’s latest local flavors while relaxing, listening to live music, and taking in the scenic beauty of Lake San Antonio.

“We’re excited to be a part of this local and highly-recognized event on the Central Coast,” said David Walker, Firestone Walker co-founder and CEO.

What began as a small-scale bluegrass festival and triathlon, The Wildflower Triathlons have since grown into an annual event known as the Woodstock of Triathlon, attracting thousands of participants and spectators to the three-day experience.
