Join us for our final event of the 2024 season - a 0.5k Beer Dash on Saturday, Dec 7th @ 11AM between Headflyer Brewing and Minneapolis Cider Co in Northeast Minneapolis! This is a zero-point-five kilometer (0.5k) event that is just a few blocks. You will start at one of our two brewery partner locations and go at whatever pace you like. No matter what, there’s beer waiting for you at the finish line!

What’s Included?

All participants receive TWO (2) free beers (one from each brewery), a festive holiday sweater, and a Brewery Running Series winter swag item like a coffee mug, pair of socks, or winter hat. Enjoy live music, food trucks, door prize giveaways, a holiday costume contest, and more!

Community Focus

We are all about being active, having fun, and giving back to our local community. 10% of proceeds from this event goes directly to local non-profits. Over $500k raised to date across all our locations.
