Event details
The St. Paddy's Day 3.1 Beer Run is a 5k run held on March 17, 2026 in downtown Piqua. The event includes a drinking division where participants drink a beer or root-beer at every mile, and a "Non-Competitors" division for participants who do not wish to drink. Non-competitors will have a finishing time recorded but will be placed in the non-competitive division and removed from the competitive results. The course is a loop through downtown Piqua. Crooked Handle Brewery is the beer sponsor for the 2026 event. The race offers competitive prizes and door prizes.
