About the Oh My Guad! 5K Beer Run

The race starts and finishes at Guadalupe Brewing Company, so there is cold craft beer waiting when you cross the line. Costumes are a big part of the morning, tutus and creative hats especially, and there is a prize for the most outrageous hat. Dogs are welcome to run alongside their owners, with their own award category at the finish.

Packet pickup runs the two evenings before the race at the brewery, with race-morning pickup available as well. Post-race, there is food, live music, and beer on site.

Common Questions About the Oh My Guad! 5K Beer Run

Will I finish last at the Oh My Guad! 5K Beer Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 36:46, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:20:27, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Oh My Guad! 5K Beer Run a good first 5K?

A field of 302 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Oh My Guad! 5K Beer Run?

The 5K winner ran 17:23 while the median finisher took 36:46. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
