Gear up for a spirited start to the 2025 race calendar on Saturday, August 2, at the elegant Tuscany Venue in the heart of San Antonio, where Scallywompus Events hosts Remember the Alamo…Beer!. This festive race features half marathon, 10K, 5K, and 2‑ or 4‑person relay options, all with post‑race beer celebrations and camaraderie.
Race Background & Theme
The event kicks off the 2025 Alamo Beer Series Challenge, an 18‑week progression through San Antonio‑area milestone races designed as marathon‑training checkpoints. Whether you’re chasing time or training, every participant—regardless of distance—earns a finisher medal and beer at the finish line.
Course & Experience
Set on the shaded grounds of the Tuscany Venue (16102 Old Fredericksburg Rd), the half marathon starts at 6:30 AM CDT, followed by the 10K at 7:15 AM, and 5K shortly thereafter. The setting offers charming views among century‑old oaks, along paved roads and scenic loops—ideal for casual fun or serious pacing. A pre‑race anthem, post‑race beer, snacks, and an after‑party bring festival energy to what’s intentionally more training than competition.
What Makes It Unique
This isn’t a formal race—it’s a social running experience built around community, humor, and Texan pride. With modest attendance (500‑1,000 runners per distance), it blends milestone training with craft beer culture. Participants report meeting local runners, enjoying live music, and celebrating together—beer never tasted so rewarding after a loop.
