New Braunfels 0.5K Beer Run

March 7, 2026 10:00am to 2:00pm
Beer Run 5 K

Get ready for an unforgettable experience at the 11th Annual New Braunfels Beer Run on March 7, 2026, at the iconic Wurstfest Grounds. This beloved community tradition celebrates over a decade of fun, camaraderie, and local spirit.

This is not a typical race. Instead of a 5K or 10K, participants take on a unique 0.5K challenge, racing around the block while balancing a pint of beer. The goal is simple: finish without spilling too much. If a participant spills over the designated “spill line,” they will be disqualified. This playful twist promises plenty of laughter and excitement for everyone involved.

As the event marks its 11th anniversary, all proceeds will benefit local nonprofit organizations dedicated to enhancing the New Braunfels community. Every registration directly supports positive change close to home.

Prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers in both the Men’s and Women’s heats, along with honors for the best group and individual costumes. Participants are encouraged to gather their friends, get creative, and come dressed to impress.

Beyond the race, attendees can enjoy a full day of entertainment, live music, delicious food, engaging games, and exciting raffles. Whether someone is a seasoned runner, a casual participant, or simply there for the fun, the New Braunfels Beer Run is an event not to be missed. The community is invited to join in celebrating more than a decade of spirited competition and local support.
