Charity
We are excited to announce the local charity for this event is Hearts of Hope Dog Rescue!
Hearts of Hope Dog Rescue is a non-profit organization made up of dedicated foster families fighting to change the lives of homeless dogs of all ages, breeds and health — until there are none.
Hearts of Hope Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dog rescue located in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Founded by Director Janelle McFarlane on November 23, 2011, Hearts of Hope’s dogs are provided with the best possible vet care, a safe place to stay and the love they deserve. We do not have a shelter facility. Our volunteer foster homes take these wonderful dogs into their homes until we find their forever families.
Pet overpopulation is a global crisis. Our local animal shelters are full of wonderful dogs that just need more time and help finding the right home. Many of our dogs come from these local county shelters. Hearts of Hope strives to help as many dogs as possible. If we are able, we will help. We know we can’t save them all, but it matters to the ones we can save.
Packet Pickup
Packet pickup will be the day of the event starting an hour before your start time.

Can I Participate Virtually?
Absolutely! We have been getting many inquiries about virtual participation and have integrated a virtual option into our regular registration.
Please feel free to register through the regular registration link above and you can either:
1) Pick up packet during packet pickup or on the day of the race, but run on your own (hint: any beer tickets are still good if you use this strategy)
2) Contact us at any time to switch to the Brew Run Virtual Race and we'll ship your packet (There will be a shipping and handling charge for this option per person)
Also, if you intend on running, but later change your mind and would like to do either of these options, that's ok too! If you are definitely going to have us ship your packet and run virtually though, we do recommend you follow the instructions below:
1). Go to runsignup.com/profile and log into your account.
2). Click on "Manage Registration" next to this race.
3). On the next page click on transfer to another race and choose the Brew Run Virtual Race.
