About the Black Hat Brew 5k
The race starts outside a gym on Scotland Boulevard and loops back to the same spot, with a brewery right next door serving as the real destination once you cross. The course is a straightforward out-and-back through Bridgewater, nothing technical underfoot, and the whole morning has the feel of a warm-weather kickoff with vendors and raffles waiting at the finish.
Post-race, the brewery next door opens up for runners, with a pour included with registration. The finish area doubles as the party, so there is no wandering to find where everyone ended up.

The Black Hat Brew 5k has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 18, 2026.
