Bottoms Up Beer Run 4K : Melbourne, FL

The Bottoms Up Beer Run 4K takes place on June 6, 2026 in Melbourne, Florida at Wickham Park Pavilion #1, 2500 Parkway Drive. The event benefits the St. Baldrick's Foundation for childhood cancer research and includes on-course refreshments provided by SAAZ.

Participants are offered a beer shot to toast the start, a beer shot at each 1K refreshment station, and a full beer at the finish. Drinking is optional and organizers estimate participants will consume approximately two beers along the course. Only those 21 years and older who present valid ID receive a wristband; participants under 21 or without proper ID will be marked. No ID means no wristband and no alcohol.

Drinking on the course is permitted only inside designated refreshment stations. Each station will issue one beer per person and volunteers will ensure beers are not removed from the pavilion. The course weaves through Wickham Park to reach refreshment stations and the stations are covered.

Race entries are capped for T-shirts and medals at 400; additional registrations may be accepted without a T-shirt or medal. Organizers plan T-shirts and bottle opener medals for participants and requested T-shirt size is guaranteed only for registrations completed by May 8, 2026. The event is timed and includes awards by overall place, masters, teams, and modified age divisions. Raffles are scheduled and beer-related costumes are encouraged.
