Welcome to Beer City!
Beer City invites you to come to discover Sacramento with us with a full schedule of running, beer drinking, games, live entertainment, and fun! Whether you come for the morning or stay for the weekend, Beer City will help you ‘drink local’ and learn as much as you can about this vibrant beer community.
Beer City Half™
Join us in Old Sacramento for a run across the Tower Bridge, out around Drake's Barn, across the Riverfront, and then back along the American River Bike Path.
Beer City Half includes a half marathon, 10k, and 5k distances that show you parts of Sacramento you didn't know existed. The Beer Stroll is a 1-mile walk around Old Sacramento.
When you are done running or walking or whatever you're doing -- the post-race refreshment will introduce you to some of Sacramento's best brewers. What better place to DRINK LOCAL than Sacramento?
All runners receive a shirt, Key to Beer City finisher's medal, custom tasting glass, and unlimited tasting until noon.
Beat the Beast!
Beat the Beast is our special beer mile where you race others and one of our Beer City Beasts. Drink 4 12-oz beers while running a mile. If the BEAST catches you, you're out of the race. Better move quickly! Which beast will appear in Sacramento? Tune in for our Beast Reveal to find out!
Beat the Beast takes place at 11am.
SHINDIG!
Starting at 1 pm, the party moves to Drakes Barn for an afternoon of music, beer, food, and games. Clean up and then come join in the fun. Show off your Key to Beer City and Beer City Half Schwag.
Shindig is free to join. Hang out here or head out to explore Sacramento and come back. Your ticket covers your first beer. Shindig serves as Beer City HQ for the rest of the day.
