No. You can purchase the tickets to the relay run and to the beer fest separately.
Where does the money go?
All proceeds benefit the Nevada Craft Brewers Association and the Blaine Thompson Memorial Scholarship at Green Valley High School. Blaine Thompson was a teacher and cross country/track coach for GVHS and passed away in 2015 after battling pancreatic cancer. Two scholarships were started in his memory and are awarded each spring to deserving high school seniors.
