The course

From the organizer

Join us for the 8th annual Longest Day 5k/10k and by special request we are keeping the .5k Beer run and .5k kids run. We are excited to continue doing this again and again and hope you are too.

By now we would hope the Beard vs Beans name is known, and if not, here's a little bit about us!

Sibling rivalry is something that everyone with a brother or sister is familiar with. My younger brother (Matthew aka Beard) and I (Miguel aka Beans) definitely know a thing or two about it. Together, we decided to put our competitive efforts toward a cause that we both personally believe in. We compete to see which brother can raise the most money in donations for the Alzheimer's Association of San Antonio and South Texas. Loser faces a punishment. In our continued efforts to help ENDALZ we bring you The Longest Day 5k/10k with Beard vs Beans.

All 5k/10k finishers will receive medals and a pretty amazing shirt. The participants who want to do the .5k Beer Run will receive a beer mug and the winner will receive an award. You can chose to do the 0.5k Beer Run post 5k/10k and get all the swag. The Kids .5k will receive a medal and shirt. Come join us and have a great time with our sponsors. As always. ALL proceeds will benefit the Alzheimer Association of San Antonio and South Texas.

Dont forget to create your team! The team with the most registered participants will earn a team flag. Deadline for this to happen will be June 1st 2026!
