About this race

The Epic Shamrock Beer Run 5k is back for another year of Beer Drinking!  Like Running or Walking?  Love awesome craft beer?  This event is for you!  Due to the popularity of this event, we have multiple wave start times between 11am-1pm (you'll pick your wave time during signup)   Enjoy a pint of your favorite beer after your 5K!!!  Better yet, enjoy a pint before the 5K... Cheers to Drinking Beer!!!   5k Registration includes:
  • *New Short Sleeve (Shamrock Shifting) Tech Shirt
  • Entry to the BrewFest
  • 5 - 3oz Samples at the mini beer garden at the finish line 
  • 5K Magnetic Bottle Opener Shield/Sword Finisher's Medal 
  • One Pint of Beer
  • Souvenir Beer Cup
  • Free Photos
This is a 21+ event only.  No strollers, no kids, no one under 21 admitted.

*NEW THIS YEAR:  Due to restrictions by the forest preserve, there will be no beer samples along the route this year.  We will have a mini beer garden set up near the finish line and you will still be able to sample beers from all 5 craft breweries at the finish line, and participants still receive a pint of beer from their favorite brewer.
