Will Run for Beer Chicago 5K
Will Run for Beer Chicago 5K is scheduled for October 24, 2026, in Lincoln Park, Chicago. The event is the fourth annual running of this 5K and uses a flat course along the Chicago lakefront with views of the skyline.
The race day includes a post-race Brewfest for participants and attendees. The Brewfest features complimentary beer for guests aged 21 and older, tastings from local breweries, live music, and Oktoberfest-inspired hot off the grill food. Brewfest tickets are offered separately for friends, family, and spectators who do not run.
Registration for the 5K includes event swag, a commemorative bottle opener finisher medal, a Will Run for Beer tasting glass, and free participant photos, plus access to the post-race Brewfest offerings. A virtual participation option is available for those who cannot attend in person. Organizers provide information about the course layout, parking, and packet pick-up as part of event details.
The presentation of the event indicates an emphasis on both the 5K run and the post-race beverage-tasting festival, with separate ticketing options for those who wish to attend only the Brewfest. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
