5K
Lace up and raise a glass—this isn’t your average 5K. Our Chicago course blends crisp fall vibes with Oktoberfest energy, where every mile brings you closer to the ultimate finish line reward: ice-cold beer and a buzzing Brewfest celebration. Whether you’re chasing a PR or just here for the party, expect a lively, high-spirited run filled with autumn atmosphere, festive crowds, and that unmistakable “run now, cheers later” feeling.
Course Description
Enjoy a scenic 5K through Chicago on a clearly marked looped course. The race starts and finishes in the same central festival area, making it easy for runners and spectators to access all pre- and post-race activities.
Along the route, participants will pass clearly marked mile points at Miles 1, 2, and 3. A hydration aid station is available on course to keep you fueled as you run or walk.
