Feel like staying active but getting bored of running aimlessly around the block? Check out a few of this week’s NYC events for those that want to get out, have some fun and keep in shape at the same time.

City Running Tours Brooklyn Beer Run -  Brooklyn Brewery - June 14^th

Another of City Running Tours’ looks around the city, the Brooklyn Beer Run focuses on the area around the Brooklyn Brewery. And while you’ll get a free beer token at the end of the 4.5-mile run, you’ll not be stopping by every watering hole along the route.

Oakley New York Mini 10K - Manhattan - June 14^th

Another running event, this one is for the ladies only, with the goal of helping to encourage women in NYC to stay active and healthy. There’s even a post-race festival so you can unwind once you’re done with your run.

Running of the Balls - Roosevelt Island - June 14^th

Much as the title of this run implies, proceeds from the event go to benefit testicular cancer. So head down on Father’s Day and take a shot at the 5K or the 10K run to help people out.
