What does each event entail?

Participants arrive, check in, walk / jog / run a 5k-ish course (or other distance options as listed), get a token to enjoy a free craft beverage, and enjoy the day’s festivities.

What is included?

Your registration fee covers: - 1 craft beverage of your choice - Your choice of a Collector’s Pint Glass or Series Swag Item - Donation to local non-profit organizations - Access to all event festivities like: live music, food trucks, door prize giveaways, games and goodies from our partners and sponsors, and more! These festivities vary per event.

What’s a “Series Swag” item?

These items will rotate throughout the season. We like to mix it up so you can run with us often and you don’t keep getting the same darn thing! All item choices are comparable in value. Examples: pint glass, FitSok running socks, BPA free waterbottle, bottle openers, running belts.. the list goes on! Got enough "stuff"? Ask us about our SWAG POINTS card!

What do you mean by "OPEN COURSE"?

"OPEN COURSE" means we do not close the roads. You are responsible for obeying all traffic laws and regulations. Please stay alert, and stay safe, stop at all intersections, and respect others along the way.

How do I know where to run? What if I get lost?

The course will be marked with arrow signs + we will station our amazing volunteer guides along the route to help direct you where to go! Printed course maps will also be available at check in We strongly encourage you to bring your smart phone so that if you do lose your way, you can contact someone to help you and / or navigate your way back to the taproom

Are dogs allowed? What about strollers?

Dogs and strollers are welcome on the course (with care and caution). Please remember - you are running at your own risk on city sidewalks / streets / trails, which might not be suitable for your 4-legged and /or pint size running buddies. You will also want to check with the brewery to make sure you can abide by their dog / underage policies. Please make the best decision possible for your crew.

What if it rains?

Our events are rain or shine! If conditions become unsafe to run, we will still hang out and drink beer.

Is it pretty competitive? What if I’m not a runner?

All levels are welcome! Walk, jog, run, crawl... Whatever goes! It’s not about how far or how fast you go… it’s just that you GO! Be sure to check event detials to see how you can win a GOLDEN CROWLER - different ways to win at every event!

What are “post-course festivities”?

It all depends on the event, but often festivities include: live music, food trucks, games, goodies, door prize giveaways, and more!

Are spectators allowed?

Absolutely! Friends and family not want to run, but still want to get FREE beer? They can volunteer! Contact your local event director to learn more.

Who are the non-profit partners?

We work with a range of local organizations and do our best to support causes in the immediate area or in line with the mission of the brewery. Check our website for updates as these partners can change per event.

How much money actually gets donated?

10% of all proceeds from our full season of events as well as 100% of proceeds from select events (e.g. our annual Arbor Day 5k and Root Beer Run go directly back into the community.) Our mission is to be active, have fun and give back! ‍We’ve donated over $500k back to local organizations across all of our locations to date, and this year we look forward to giving even more .. And to more local organizations doing great work!! This would not be possible without YOU (the participants) and great, local partnerships with the breweries and series partners.

How does my organization or business get involved?

Let's chat! We love to work with, and support as many fellow local businesses and organizations as we can. Contact your local event director, or if you're not sure who that is, email info@breweryrunningseries.com and we'll put you in touch with the right person.
