Participate however you like; run, jog, or walk! Families are always welcome, and kids under 10 run for free. Running strollers are always welcome and dogs are always allowed on our courses (but check if the brewery allows dogs inside!). All of our 5K events are untimed fun runs. No matter what, there will be a beer waiting at the finish line!

All single events are $30 (unless noted) and include one beer, collector’s glassware or seasonal swag item, and an invitation to enjoy the day’s scheduled festivities: live music, food, sponsor goodies, giveaways and more!

Volunteer for beer! We’re always looking for enthusiastic, beer-loving volunteers to help us put on these awesome 5K fun runs.  Want a free beer without having to run/walk?  Click here to sign up as a volunteer!

Please note: Just like our 2020 season, we are respecting the guidelines set forth by the CDC, WHO, Governor Pritzker, and Mayor Lightfoot and will make necessary adjustments to 2021 events. We will keep this website as updated as possible regarding event scheduling. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out! 

Each event will have different adjustments based on the size and capacity of the brewery. In many cases, we are doing starting wave times to ensure ultimate safety!

Thank you for all your support of our small business, our local breweries, our fellow small business partners, our nonprofits, and for being part of this amazing beer run community! We will all get through this difficult time together, and we can’t wait to give you all a safe and government-approved high five at a BRS finish line soon!
