Description
Join us for our first race in Southern California, in Orange County! Beery City OC starts in Centennial Park in Santa Ana and runs along the Santa Ana River Trail through Fountain Valley, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, and Newport Beach (our hometown!). The air is thick with excitement!
Beer City Orange County 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.
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 Beer City Festival. Runners drink until noon. If you want to stay for the whole Festival, purchase a cheap Second Shift pass that takes you to 3pm.
