5k Beer Run – Toppling Goliath | 2023 Iowa Brewery Running Series

Posted: June 6, 2023

We are the Iowa Brewery Running Series™ and we run for beer!

See you at Toppling Goliath on Saturday, June 17th. Fun run starts from the taproom at 10 AM.

We’ve mapped out a 5k-ish course that starts and ends at Toppling Goliath and weaves throughout the countryside of Decorah. Run, walk, jog – whatever goes! All ages, all levels are welcome.

Cross the finish line and celebrate! All participants receive:

• A craft beverage at the finish line from Toppling Goliath!
• Choice of a collector’s pint glass or seasonal swag item from the Brewery Running Series
• A chance to win sweet door prizes, like Brewery Running Series merchandise or beer to take home
• Access to event festivities, goodies, and giveaways
• And more!

Our mission is to be active, have fun and give back to our local community. A portion of all proceeds from our events support local nonprofits – over $350k raised to date! This event will add to that tally. A portion of every registration goes directly to local organizations like The Spectrum Network. Their mission is helping individuals with cognitive disabilities, mental illness, and other barriers to independent living enter the workforce and the community and more. So not only do you get to enjoy some healthy activity and great, local beer – you are helping us support local organizations that do important work in our community.

Registration is limited to the size of the taproom and many of our events sell out. Sign up today!

Important details:

• This is an untimed, fun-run. All levels of walkers, runners and joggers are welcome.
• This is an open course, meaning roads will NOT be closed. You are responsible for obeying all traffic laws and regulations.

• Our events are rain or shine! If conditions become unsafe to run, we will still hang out and drink beer.
• There will not be a bag check; please plan accordingly and dress appropriately for the weather.
• Dogs and strollers are welcome on the course, with care and caution. Please remember – you are running at your own risk on city sidewalks / streets / trails, which might not be suitable for your 4-legged and /or pint size running buddies. You will also want to check with the brewery to make sure you can abide by their dog / underage policies. Please make the best decision possible for your crew.
• Please drink responsibly. We always encourage carpooling and safe, designated drivers.
