5k Fun Run at Imperial Oak Brewing
The Imperial Oak Brewing Run is an untimed athletic event located in Willow Springs, Illinois. Participants follow a scenic route through the surrounding neighborhood, starting and ending at the brewery taproom. This event is part of the 2026 Illinois Brewery Running Series and is open to participants who wish to run, walk, or jog the course.
The event features a single distance:
- 5 km
The course is designated as an open course, meaning roads remain open to public traffic and participants must follow all local traffic laws. The route is clearly marked for navigation. While the event takes place rain or shine, there is no bag check available on-site.
Registration includes several amenities for participants. Each runner receives one craft beer from the brewery at the finish line, or a non-alcoholic beverage for those under 21. Participants also receive a choice of brewery-themed promotional items, such as a collector's pint glass or a seasonal piece of gear. The post-run activities include music, games, and entry into a prize drawing for various merchandise. Additionally, ten percent of the event proceeds are donated to local nonprofit organizations.
Dogs and strollers are permitted during the run, provided they are managed with care and comply with brewery policies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
