Beer City Half™

Join us in Old Sacramento for a run across the Tower Bridge, out around Drake's Barn, across the Riverfront, and then back along the American River Bike Path. 

Beer City Half includes a half marathon, 10k, and 5k distances that show you parts of Sacramento you didn't know existed. The Beer Stroll is a 1-mile walk around Old Sacramento. 

When you are done running or walking or whatever you're doing -- the post-race refreshment will introduce you to some of Sacramento's best brewers. What better place to DRINK LOCAL than Sacramento?

All runners receive a shirt, Key to Beer City finisher's medal, custom tasting glass, and unlimited tasting until noon.

Beat the Beast!

Beat the Beast is our special beer mile where you race others and one of our Beer City Beasts. Drink 4 12-oz beers while running a mile. If the BEAST catches you, you're out of the race. Better move quickly! Which beast will appear in Orange County? Tune in to find out!

Beat the Beast takes place at 11am.

SHINDIG! 

Once the running and beer tasting are done, join us for SHINDIG at Drakes Barn. Tickets cover your first beer and are available at checkout when you register. 

The Shindig is also Beer City Half HQ for other afternoon, fun challenges, like The Beermazing Race, which challenges you to visit 5 brewers between 1 pm and 5 pm to drink a pint and find the clues to your next taproom.

Shindig starts at 12 pm.

The Beer Trolley

Beer City proudly presents the Sacramento Beer Trolley. The Trolley runs between Old Sacramento (the Start/Finish), Drakes Barn, Jackrabbit Brewing, Fieldwork and more. You can hop on and off at any point. Your rides come through approximately every 45 minutes. 

If you're taking part in the Beermazing Race, this means you can hit all of the brewers in one afternoon!
