Running with the Chickens
The starting line is Irish Times Restaurant (located directly across from Dunn Tire Park). That’s where participants line-up (for beers) before the race. Then the course winds all the way around the baseball stadium where runners cross a finish line and end up in chicken wing heaven. "The same guy wins the race every year," Drew told me. "Many people show up in costumes - they're just looking to have a good time. 'Runners' can register the day of the race (Saturday, August 30th)... it's one lap around the stadium. We've been hosting the festival for seven years - the .5K race has been going on for four years."
The National Buffalo Wing Festival takes place on August 30th and 31st.

Some of the tournament play that I have heard about is only to be left to the experts. That's why I finally decided to post on a beginners series in August that takes place at the Main Place Mall.
