Join us in San Ramon on October 26! Beer City starts and finishes at Bishop Ranch and runs around Annabel Lake, then out the Iron Horse Trail. You will be treated to a challenging race with mixed terrain and sights you likely never have seen. Beer City Festival includes a half marathon, 10k, and 5k distances. The Beer Stroll is a 1-mile walk for those who are mostly in it for the beer. Beat the Beast is our new take on the beer mile. 

You don't have to have been part of other Beer City races to have a great time. You also don't have to care for beer. This gathering is meant for everyone and it's made by runners, for runners. So come out for a great time with sunshine, running, beer, and celebrating.

When you get home we will be there with tastes of beer from the East Bay's great local brewers. Runners drink until noon and the it's off to Shindig! our afternoon gathering. 

Each Beer City Half runner receives the special Key to Beer City, a comfy Beer City Bishop Ranch t-shirt, a 7oz Beer City tasting glass, custom bib, and free race photos. 

Podium trophies are given to the top 3 in each race by gender. Age group awards are given 3-deep in 10-year divisions (example: 20-29). Age group winners are requested to identify themselves at the timing table.

All runners are entered into the Beer City Series results and our Slammers receive a special lanyard that holds all the keys. Collect them all -- gotta run first!

Beat the Beast and The Beermazing Race have their own treats and rewards as well..
