If you're passionate about running and craft beer, mark your calendar for Saturday, August 15, 2026, when this 5K run/walk kicks off at 9:00am in Lena, IL featuring a great course and local brews from Lena Brewing. The event welcomes competitive runners, casual participants, and walkers alike, with a beer garden and the taproom open before and after the race for festivities. Your registration includes a soft cotton t-shirt, finisher medal (that doubles as a bottle opener and magnet), chip timing, a souvenir pint cup, and a complimentary pint of beer (or soda for those under 21)—but spots fill fast, so sign up soon!
