Join Kurt Braunohler and Scotty Landes from the Bananas podcast as they invite you to join their Los Angeles tradition of a downhill 1k. Participants in this non-competitive, un-race for the untrained are asked to come dressed as a banana or in a banana-adjacent costume and run, jog, or walk with the Banana Boys as "Who Let The Dogs Out?" plays on a loop. This not-grueling .621 mile non-race will start at Denver Beer Co. on Platte Street and end in at the first-ever BANANASFEST in Larimer Square where the booze will flow and dozens of weird and silly events will take place all day for free!
