Beer City Half™
We are thrilled to bring San Diego more racing and MORE beer tasting! Come join us for this Valentine's Day jaunt through in Mission Bay! We offer half marathon, 10k and 5k races. The Beer Stroll is a 1-mile walk around Waterfront Park. Beat The Beast? Well that's something totally different.
The post-race refreshment will introduce you to some of San Diego's and California's best brewers. What better place to DRINK LOCAL than San Diego?
All runners receive a shirt, a Key to Beer City finisher's medal, a custom tasting glass and unlimited tasting at the post-run Festival.
Beat the Beast
Beat the Beast is our special beer mile where you race others and one of our Beer City Beasts. Drink 4 12-oz beers while running a mile. If the Beast catches you, you're out of the race. Better move quickly! Be the Beast that YOU are.
Beat the Beast takes place at Radium Runway, starting at 11am.
All Beasts recieve a special finishers medal and beer of course.
Shindig & The Beermazing Race!
Once the running and beer milin' is done, join us at a Beer City brewery we like -- a lot -- for SHINDIG, a Beer City party with music, food trucks, and games. Your ticket covers your first beer and is available at checkout when you register.
The Shindig is Beer City HQ for the afternoon with fun games like The Beermazing Race, which challenges you to visit 5 brewers between 1pm and 5pm to drink a pint and find the clues to your next taproom.
