About the Green Bay Beer Run 5k & .05k

The course runs through the neighborhoods surrounding Badger State Brewing Company, which sits close to Lambeau Field, and finishes back at the brewery. The route is flat the whole way, passing through residential streets before returning to the start area. For anyone who wants the post-race atmosphere without the distance, there is a very short alternate route that ends at the same place.

The finish is at the brewery itself, so post-race means being inside a working taproom rather than a parking lot. The timing puts the run well before any Packers kickoff, so the crowd tends to include people planning to stay in the area the rest of the afternoon.

Common Questions About the The Green Bay Beer Run 5k & .05k

Will I finish last at the Green Bay Beer Run 5k & .05k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 34:29, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:12:32, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Green Bay Beer Run 5k & .05k a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 282 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Green Bay Beer Run 5k & .05k?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 20:20 while the median finisher took 34:29. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
