What’s Up?
Join us in Fort Worth on October 10! Beer City Fort Worth starts and finishes at Panther Island Pavilion and runs the Trinity River Trail. 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.
When you back to the Finish, we will be there with tastes of beer from Fort Worth's great local brewers. Runners drink until noon, and then it's off to Shindig! our afternoon gathering. Time to dig Fort Worth!
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. Come out for a great time with sunshine, running, beer, and celebrating.

Post Run Beer Tasting
The post-run beer drinking is a festival all its own. Beer City Half offers our runners over 21 years of age a selection of beer from a collection of our local brewer friends. There will also be non-alcoholic Hop Water as well as the water, bubbly drinks, and snacks we provide.
Beer will be served in 7oz Beer City tasting glasses for you to take home (without a beer in them still). Drink as much as you like until noon.
Also, there will be bubbly water, sodas, cookies, and fruit for everyone.
Swag & Awards
Each Beer City Half runner receives the special Key to Beer City, a comfy Beer City t-shirt, a 7oz Beer City tasting glass, a 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!
