This is not your typical beer run.

D.G. Yuengling & Son, America’s oldest brewery based in Pottsville, Pa., has partnered with CK Running to host the Yuengling Gold Rush 5K Walk and Run at 9 a.m. on Sunday.

A portion of the proceeds benefit Team Red, White & Blue, to support its mission to enrich the lives of America’s veterans by connecting them to their community through physical and social activity.

The event is expected to attract 600 people who will travel through a scenic route around Pittsburgh’s North Shore, including a portion of Three Rivers Heritage Trail, the release said.

Participants will receive a T-shirt, one Yuengling Golden Pilsner, a koozie and admission to a post-race party with beer, food and live music at Stage AE.

Yuengling Golden Pilsner is the brewery’s first new year-round product in 18 years, and the first created by Yuengling’s sixth generation family members
