Have a Drink on Me 5K
The Have a Drink on Me 5K is a USATF-certified road race that starts and finishes at SingleCut North Brewery, 6 Fairchild Square, Clifton Park, NY 12065. The paved course crosses scenic neighborhood streets and has generally minimal elevation changes with a small hill on the return.
The event uses chip timing and offers live tracking for official results. A water stop is provided at approximately the halfway point, and the finish area includes water and a selection of runner snacks. Awards are presented in 10-year age groups from under 10 through 70 plus, and overall awards are given to the top three male and female finishers.
Post-race activities take place at the brewery and feature live music, food trucks, yard games, and a stein hoist competition. Each runner aged 21 and over receives a ticket for a complimentary SingleCut beer at the finish. Runners also receive high-performance race socks and a custom koozie as part of race swag. Teams of ten or more receive upgraded swag; solo entrants can access team perks by making a specified donation.
Packet pickup is available the Friday before the race at SingleCut North Brewery and on race day at the event tent outside the brewery. Parking is available in nearby business park lots with overflow provided by Northway Church. A portion of race proceeds and donations benefit Helping Hands Academy & Nursery School, which serves children aged 2 to 5 across 16 area school districts.
