The details

About this event

The Locust Street Beer Run is a unique blend of fitness and festivity, taking you on a 1.6-mile journey through Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood. With four beer stops sponsored by local breweries, this event is as much about the camaraderie and fun as it is about the run itself. It's part of the larger Locust Street Festival, which transforms the area into a vibrant hub of music, art, and food.

Whether you're a seasoned runner or just in it for the beer, the event promises a lively atmosphere with music stages and local vendors lining the streets. Make sure to register early to secure your T-shirt and bib, and don't forget to pick up your packet ahead of time. It's a must for anyone looking to experience Milwaukee's community spirit in a fun and unconventional way.
