Run at Ribfest

Run at Ribfest 2025 is a unique 5k fun run held at Victoria Park in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, combining running with craft beer tasting. Participants complete multiple 1.25k loops on a traffic-free course through the park, starting and finishing in a licensed area where they enjoy beer samples from various Ontario craft breweries each lap. The event is part of the larger Ribfest and Craft Beer Show festival, offering runners a VIP package that includes additional beer tokens, early access to vendors, a souvenir glass, and access to a shaded VIP tent.

This 19+ event emphasizes fun over competition and celebrates summer with great brews and community spirit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
