Riot Run 5k at Prison City Brewing Company
The Riot Run takes place on September 26, 2026, in Auburn, New York, at Prison City Brewing Company, 28 State Road. The weekend program includes an in-person 5k race, a virtual 5k option, and the Riot Run Stein Hoist Challenge.
The in-person 5k is a chip timed, closed course that starts and ends next to the brewery and runs through the center of Auburn, finishing at the bottom of State Street. After the race there is an on-site street festival with live music, yard games, and beer available for participants and attendees. Awards include overall male and female top three finishers and age-group awards in ten-year categories.
A virtual 5k option is available with a separate registration period and fee. The stein hoist event follows the awards ceremony and is a feats of strength competition where participants hold a full half liter of beer in a glass stein. The stein hoist awards an entry to the next year’s race to the winner; net proceeds from that event support the listed charity partner. Participants in the stein hoist keep the beer and the mug.
Event swag includes custom Riot Run race socks, a Riot Run koozie, and optional upgrades such as a race shirt and a trucker hat. Registration fees are listed for each event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
