Beer City Half Santa Rosa

Beer City Half Santa Rosa is a multi-event running and beer festival held on February 21, 2026, in Santa Rosa, California. The event is based at A Place to Play and combines road and trail running with beer-focused activities around the city.

The day includes a post-run refreshment area featuring local Santa Rosa and Sonoma County brewers. Runners receive a shirt, a Key to Beer City finisher's medal, and a custom tasting glass, plus unlimited tasting during the event's tasting period. Beat the Beast is a beer mile where participants must stay ahead of a costumed "Beast" or be eliminated. The Beermazing Race is a taproom challenge that asks participants to visit multiple local breweries, buy beers as they go, and use a provided map, Loteria card, and Beer City Cape.

An afternoon gathering called the Shindig takes place at Moonlight Brewing with music, food trucks, and games; tickets include the first beer. The event operates a free Beer Trolley between A Place to Play and several local breweries, with pickups along the route. Registration is limited and the event has sold out in past editions.
