Set for Saturday, June 28, 2025, the SRC Beer Run in Stephenville is a refreshingly unconventional endurance event offering 5K, 10K, half marathon, and full marathon distances—a non‑timed, self‑paced celebration of running with beer at each 5K loop’s finish.
Event History & Format
Inspired by a fun endurance goal—running a marathon each month—the Beer Run debuted in 2024 and returns in 2025 with relaxed rules: no chip timing, staggered starts to cluster finishers, and nearly unlimited stops for spectators, personal hydration, and post-loop beers. It’s about social momentum more than minute splits.
What Runners Can Expect
Runners gather at BJ’s Pizza Porch at 211 McNeill St, starting around 5:00 AM CDT, with a generous cutoff at 11:00 AM. Each 5K loop earns you a 4 oz beer (additional non‑alcoholic hydration available). Participants are encouraged to bring their own drinks if desired. At race end, pizza is served to refuel and revel.
What Makes It Unique
This event blends mileage with merriment. It’s community-driven, quirky, and inclusive—ideal for locals looking to have fun rather than chase PRs. Whether you run one loop or cram in the full marathon, you get a beverage and a medal. The festive format encourages comradery and zero judgment.
