The 5K portion is a twist on the traditional 5K. The event has been awarded the Top 100 Races in America by BibRave, the 5K is timed and the course is certified, whether you are a serious runner or walker who loves beer, this event is for you.
The 5K will start at Mount Saint Mary Park in St. Charles, and continue towards Geneva on the scenic path through Wheeler Park, and end back at Mount Saint Mary Park for the BrewFest.
Proceeds benefit Project Mobility’s mission to bring adaptive cycling opportunities to the lives of children, adults, and wounded service members with disabilities. Throughout the 5K, there will be 6 Beer Stops featuring local craft breweries handing out 3-ounce beer samples to runners. Post 5K will be the BrewFest. You will get 18 samples of beer while listening to InFunktious and Bronson Rock while enjoying a variety of food thanks to Craft Urban, purchase some raffle tickets for our “Mountain of Beer” and view their Adaptive Bike Giveaway Presentation. In 2022 the organization was able to donate over $25,000 in adaptive bicycles from the funds raised by the event.
