Run at Ribfest

Run at Ribfest 2025 is a unique 5k fun run held at Victoria Park in Kitchener, Ontario, combining running with craft beer tasting. Participants complete a 1.25 km loop through the park, starting and finishing in a licensed area where they enjoy a beer sample each lap from various Ontario craft breweries. The event is part of the larger Ribfest and Craft Beer Show festival, running July 18-20, with the run taking place on July 20.

Entry includes a Sunday Ribfest VIP package featuring early access to beer vendors, a souvenir glass, additional beer tokens, and access to a shaded VIP tent. The course is traffic-free and designed for fun rather than competition. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
