About this race
The Perfect Marathon Training Race is BACK!
The 5th Annual Shoes 'N Brews 26.2KM Metric Marathon & Relay will take place on Sunday October 5th, 2025.
A collaboration between The RUNegades (Shoes) and The Conshohocken Brewing Company (Brews), this FLAT, FAST, POINT-TO-POINT race on the SRT will take you from Conshohocken to a rockin' afterparty on Bridge Street in Phoenixville.
At 26.2 KM this "metric marathon" is 16.28 miles--basically a half marathon plus a 5K. It's perfect for marathon training OR for anyone who wants more than a half marathon but is not quite ready for a full.
