5k Beer Run x Confluence Brewing

The 5k Beer Run x Confluence Brewing is part of the IA Brewery Running Series. This event follows a 5 km course that starts and finishes at Confluence Brewing Company in Des Moines. The route is designed to pass by local landmarks including Gray's Lake and Des Moines Water Works Park.

As an untimed fun run, the event is open to participants who wish to run, walk, or jog. The course takes place on public roads, and participants are responsible for obeying all traffic laws and remaining aware of their surroundings. This event is held regardless of weather conditions, proceeding in both rain and shine.

Registration for the event is limited based on the capacity of the brewery taproom. Every registered participant receives:

  • 5 km course access
  • One craft beverage from the brewery
  • A collector's pint glass or series swag item
  • Access to event festivities such as live music and food trucks

A portion of the proceeds from the event supports the Food Bank of Iowa. While there is no age requirement for participation, individuals must be 21 years of age or older and present a valid ID to consume alcoholic beverages; younger participants receive a token for a non-alcoholic drink.
