Get ready for an exhilarating day filled with fun, fitness, and a dash of festivity at the 8th annual Brat Trot 5K on Saturday, October 11, 2025, in Terre Haute, Vigo! This unique event invites participants to enjoy a lively run through the historical brewing district, with two exciting race options: the Beer Challenge 5K and the traditional Brat Trot 5K, plus a 1-mile Fun Run for those looking for a shorter distance.
The highlight of the day is undoubtedly the Beer Challenge 5K, where runners tackle a 1-mile loop course while enjoying a refreshing 4-ounce beer at each lap.
