We are the Iowa Brewery Running Series™ and we run for beer!

Join us at Confluence Brewing on December 4th for a 3k-ish, fun run event that starts and ends at this awesome taproom in Des Moines around Gray's Lake. Run, walk, jog - whatever goes! Complete the course and celebrate with us and a FREE, local craft brew at the finish line.

What’s included?! All participants receive:

• A FREE craft brew from Confluence Brewing!
• Your choice of a collector’s pint glass or seasonal swag item from the Brewery Running Series
• Your chance to win sweet door prizes, like Brewery Running Series merchandise or a growler to take home
• Access to event festivities, games, goodies and giveaways
• And more!

2022 marks our 10 year anniversary season! The Brewery Running Series started with one event in Minneapolis, MN in 2012 - we now organize over 300 events per year, across 20+ states and counting!

Our mission is to be active, have fun and give back to our local community. A portion of all proceeds support local nonprofits - over $250k raised to date! This event will add to that tally. The Food Bank of Iowa provides food to Iowans in need and organizations like food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters that share our goal of ending hunger. So not only do you get to enjoy some healthy activity and great, local beer - you are helping us support local organizations that do important work in our community.

Registration is limited, so sign up today!
