About the Braden Kramer Foundation- Beer Chase 5K

The course loops out from the brewery on Main Street, follows the Blanchard River, cuts through Riverside Park, and returns along Sandusky Street. It stays open to traffic throughout, so a police guide vehicle leads the way and volunteers post up along the route to keep runners on track. The surface is a mix of road, sidewalk, and paved trail.

East Crawford Street closes the morning of the race for packet pickup and sponsor tables, making that block the quiet hub before things get moving. Runners of age get a beer voucher good at the brewery after finishing, and age group awards go to top finishers across a range of categories.

Common Questions About the Braden Kramer Foundation- Beer Chase 5K

Will I finish last at the Braden Kramer Foundation- Beer Chase 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 28:21, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:00:25, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Braden Kramer Foundation- Beer Chase 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (50 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Braden Kramer Foundation- Beer Chase 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:54 while the median finisher took 28:21. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
