WHO WE ARE:

The Illinois Brewery Running Series is about inspiring Illinoisans to Be Active, Have Fun, and Give Back. We host untimed, family-friendly 5K-ish fun runs that start and end at some of the best brewerie in Illinois.

Participants walk, jog, or run and then drink beer! Everyone is invited to enjoy the day’s entertainment: live music, great food, giveaways and activities with partners and sponsors. Everyone receives 1 free craft brew, and a collectors pint glass or seasonal swag item and all the FUN!

Be active. Have fun. Give back! A portion of all proceeds goes back to local non-profits, including Chicago Run, Chicago Parks Foundation, Midwest Access Coalition, Every Town for Gun Safety, and more!
