About the Shamrock Beer Run Half Marathon or 5K Run/Walk
The half marathon runs several loops around White River State Park in Indianapolis, so the scenery repeats but stays pleasant throughout. It is a adults-only event built around a post-race beer festival, with a live concert, a DJ, a food truck, cornhole, and giant beer pong all waiting at the finish inside an enclosed party tent.
Early packet pickup is the evening before at a local brewery on the north side of the city. Race-day pickup opens at Historic Military Park before the half marathon goes off. Parking nearby is cash-only, though credit card garages are within reach at the adjacent university campus and at White River State Park itself.
