May the 4th Be With You 5k x 56 Brewing | 2024 MN Brewery Running Series

May the 4th Be With You 5k Fun Run at 56 Brewing | 11AM | NE MPLS | Part of the 2024 Minnesota Brewery Running Series®

Run for beer, we will! Join us at 56 Brewing for a 5k course and great local beer.

We've mapped out a 5k-ish course that starts and ends at this taproom in NE Minneapolis. Run, walk or jog your 5k cousre (Star Wars costumes encouraged, because when else can you run a 5k and harness the power of your inner jedi?!)

Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking for a good excuse to be active, this event is fun for all. The 5k course will take you through scenic routes, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful surroundings while getting your heart pumping.

After crossing the finish line, reward yourself with a well-deserved pint of craft beer from 56 Brewing. Nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment and the taste of a refreshing brew!

So rally the crew and come join us at 56 Brewing on Saturday, May 4.

This event is part of our 12th annual, 2024 Minnesota Brewery Running Series Season

All participants receive:

• (1) craft brew at the finish line from 56 Brewing

Our mission is to be active, have fun and give back. A portion of all proceeds from our events supports local nonprofits - over $500k raised to date! This event will add to that tally by donating 10% to: Infinite Ingredient, a non-profit whose mission is to support the mental and physical well-being of individuals working in the craft beverage industry. 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 to the size of the taproom and many of our events sell out. Sign up today!
