We will be there having a brew so stop by, say hello, and pick up your mask! If you are unable to make this work, no worries at all. We will be reaching out for all runners who have not claimed their masks to make follow up arrangements.
Route Options
If you've ever joined the North Bend Beer Runners for a group run, you know we strive to design routes that are fun yet accommodating to all ages, paces and abilities. This course is no different! There are 3 ways you can run the course - Kids half mile, 5k, or 5 mile.
All Routes
- Course is designed to minimize major road crossings.
- Use traffic lights and lighted pedestrian walkways when available.
- Course is designed to stay on paved/ concrete/ boardwalk/ hard-packed gravel to increase accessibility for participants on wheels.
- When running at night, please wear your headlamp.
Zipline Start and Finish Line
Jump start your run with a zip on the zipline and zip through the finish line on the zipline! Located behind the ball field at Si View Park. This is also behind the main building where the pool and classrooms are located.
5k Option
Si View Park, Torguson Park, SVT, South Fork River Bridge, Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank, Downtown - Some of the best of North Bend on this fun 5k course!
5 Mile Option
Run the 5k course with one addition, a loop around the Tollgate cow farm!
Remember...
The goal is to have fun and be safe! Please follow the current state and local guidelines for the COVID-19 pandemic, be sure to wear your headlamp at night, and most of all have a great time!
Leaderboard
There are no official prizes, but we will try to have fun with a digital leaderboard of some sort. For example, ranking may include fastest male/female times for each distance, most times run the course, most zipline trips, etc. This is the first time we are doing this type of leaderboard, so please keep that in mind and we take any and all thoughts on how to improve!
To be eligible for the leaderboard:

- Record your route using a GPS timer like Strava, a GPS watch, etc.

Who are the North Bend Beer Runners?
Beer Runners is more than just a running club, or a drinking group. It is a community and movement – both locally and globally – that comes together regularly to support member’s running goals “in the interest of science.”
Our Mission
The primary mission is to “test “and promote the results of a scientific research study conducted by Dr. Manuel J. Castillo, Professor of Medical Physiology, School of Medicine, University of Granada, Granada, Spain. The study reported that beer and water have similar rehydration effects under the conditions of his study which compared a moderate amount of beer (660 ML) to the same amount of water.
Our Goals
- Encourage people to exercise by running (or walking)
- Provide friendly camaraderie
- Support and raise funds for non-profits organizations and charitable causes
- Promote the responsible enjoyment of QUALITY beer
- Support local tavern owners and breweries
Say Hello!
We are always taking new members and working with new businesses. Please feel free to reach out to Stockard and Matt on Facebook, Strava, and northbendbeerrunners@gmail.com.
