Gentle Ben’s and Barrio Brewing, sister venues in which Barrio brews for both, are playing roles in two runs.

Barrio Brewing, 800 E. 16th St., has partnered with Fleet Feet Tucson to host a BFF Run at 5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11. The 3-mile run south of downtown, through the neighborhood surrounding Barrio, will end at the brewery, with Fleet Feet providing a free beer.
