SO Beer Run

Come test yourself on a hilly 5k course with a mix of road and trails. Starting amongst the trees of Queen’s Park, the 2.5km loop starts on a fast downhill where you’ll zoom past the heritage homes of Queen’s Park.

You’ll take the winding path through the park, with a mix of ups and downs. Be prepared for the short, steep hill at the 2k (and 4.5k) mark, where we will have a cheering section to keep your spirits high. Enter back into the forested area to finish the first loop and hit the halfway point. One more loop and you’re done!

NEW FOR 2025 - Kids Race

The Kids Race is about 1km in length, and most runners are aged between 6– 13, though we welcome all kids to participate. It’s not timed, is non-competitive and purely for the fun of all involved. Registration is FREE! The course will stay in the forested area of Queen’s Park with plenty of opportunities to support and cheer.

Race starts and beer garden opens at 11 for runners and supporters.

All funds raised by Kidsport New West stay in our community to get local kids off the sidelines and into a season of sport.

Post Race

Celebrate your run with great vibes in our licensed post-race area.

Steel & Oak Brewing Co. will be hosting a beer garden with a special Beer Run option, plus non-alcoholic drinks for purchase. Dos Amigos will be bringing their Tex-Mex food truck to make sure you are fully replinished after the hard effort.

To aid with recovery even more we will have massage by donation and a hydration station.

Post-race massages will be provided by New West Physio. They will be accepting donations for their services, and money raised will go to our charity partner: KidSport New West.

Blonyx, Canadian sports nutrition brand, will be providing samples of their electrolyte drink mix: Hydra+ at the hydration station.
