Beer City Half™

Beer City OC starts in Centennial Park and runs along the Santa Ana River Trail through Fountain Valley, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, and Newport Beach (our hometown!). It 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. 

When you get home we will be there with tastes from a selection of great, local Orange County brewers.

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.

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! Which beast will appear in Orange County? Tune in to find out!

Beat the Beast takes place at 11am.
