CollaBEERation 5K & Brew Fest Back and Better Than Ever

After a three-year hiatus, we’re bringing back one of our favorite traditions. The CollaBEERation 5K & Brew Fest returns this spring, reuniting running, beer, high-fives, and the community we love.

This event has always been about more than a finish time. It’s about showing up, running together, earning the beer, and celebrating the people who make this place special. Whether you’re chasing a PR or cruising with friends, CollaBEERation is a full-send kind of day.

Run fast. Run happy. Stay for the party.
