Come out and enjoy Etown's new walking path. Starting at Moo-Duk brewery directly across from the train station. Check in then stroll down the path into the Central Business District of Historic Elizabethtown (E-town). With the purchase of your ticket you will receive a logoed mug. As you Explore E-town, participating businesses will fill your mug with a complimentary item. This item is completely up to the business themselves. It could be candy, popcorn, smoothies, coffee/tea, and many other fun items. Once finished you can use the path to walk back to your vehicle or park in town, walk up to Moo-Duk and end in town. It's your choice but your mug will only be at Moo-Duk, so that's needs to be your first stop. In all we expect you'll walk a 5K or 3 miles. If you choose you can walk, run, or ride. Just be careful.

Eventbrite brings people together through live experiences. Discover events that match your passions, or create your own with online ticketing tools.
