About this Event
IMPORTANT NOTE: Everyone will need to pick, and stick to their designated start window and respect safety guidelines as they pertain to COVID 19. Please keep an eye out for all specific event details and be prepared for any additional adjustments needed.
We are the Colorado Brewery Running Series and we run for beer!
Join us for our 5k On The Mountain in Snowmass Village on both Friday, July 31 @ 6:30/6:45PM and on Saturday, August 1 @ 9:30/10:00AM. This 5k-ish fun run hosted by the Colorado Brewery Running Series will start and end at the New Belgium Ranger Station on the Snowmass Village Mall! Weave up and down the ski slopes of the mountain on this breathtaking 5k course at whatever pace you like, no matter what, there’s a beer waiting for you at the finish line at this awesome mountainside taproom!
This is a true trail run, you can count on a fair amount of elevation, challenging hikes and descents on single track bike trails, ski slopes, and mountain access roads. This course is not suited for running strollers, so please plan ahead if you have small children coming along.
Each runner/walker will need to start during their designated start wave window (15-minute windows on Friday, and 30 minute windows on Saturday). Please do not arrive to check-in more than 15 minutes before your selected start time begins. Due to COVID-related event guidelines and capacity constraints at the Pitkin County-level, we will be breaking this event into 2 sessions (July 31st evening and August 1st morning), with 2 start windows per session:
- (1) Friday evening, July 31: start windows of 6:30-6:45PM*, and 6:45-7:00PM
- (2) Saturday morning, August 1: start windows of 9:30-10:00AM, and 10:00-10:30AM
*If you are planning on running on Friday, and you anticipate the course will take you longer than 1 hour, we suggest choosing the 6:30 Friday option in order to have the most daylight.

We are all about being active, having fun and giving back to our local community. Since our inaugural Colorado event in 2016, we have been able to donate over $32,000 back to local Colorado nonprofits. This event will add to that tally! 10% of all proceeds goes directly to a local organization that will be onsite promoting their organization. So not only do you get to a little exercise and enjoy a great beer, you are contributing to our awesome community!
