Event Information
About this Event
We are the Illinois Brewery Running Series and we run for beer!
Times have been crazy, but we are excited that we are back to hosting live in-person events where we can be active, have fun, and give back SAFELY!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Everyone will need to pick, and stick to their designated start time 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.
Join us at Alarmist Brewing on October 3rd @ 10AM or 11AM for a 5k-ish course that starts and ends at this awesome Sauganash brewery. Weave through the surrounding area at whatever pace you like, no matter what there’s a beer waiting for you at the finish line!
Special note: Due to current COVID restrictions, Alarmist is not open for indoor dining yet, however they will be open for the Brewery Running Series community to get to-go orders at this date. We are encouraging participants to bring a picnic (which you can leave any chairs, etc with the Brewery Running Series staff while you run) and head to Peterson Park just a couple of blocks away after your run to enjoy the wonderful Chicago fall, socially distanced of course! Be sure to follow all rules of the park <3
What’s included?! All participants receive:
$6 off a to go order of $20 or more at Alarmist 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
And more!
We are all about being active, having fun and giving back to our local community. Since our inaugural event (the Brewery Running Series was founded in Minnesota in 2012), we have been able to donate over $160,000 back to local nonprofits. 10% of all proceeds goes directly to Chicago Run and Chicago Parks Foundations, awesome local organizations that make Chicago a great place to live. So not only do you get to a little exercise and enjoy a great beer, you are contributing to our awesome community!
We are taking all necessary precautions regarding COVID-19. We will be sending a detailed email to participants the week of the event of everything to expect.
