About the Will County Brew Run 5k

The race runs through a park in Shorewood, with a post-race beer garden hosted by a local craft brewery. Food trucks and a DJ keep things going after the finish. Age group awards go to the top finishers across a range of brackets, so there is actual competition if you want it, and walkers are timed too.

Parking is on grass at the south end of the park, and the recommended entrance comes in from Seil Road. The race is kid, stroller, and pet friendly throughout, though the beer garden is adults only.

Common Questions About the Will County Brew Run 5k

Will I finish last at the Will County Brew Run 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.108 Miles field finished slower than 35:40, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:02:11, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Will County Brew Run 5k a good first 3.108 Miles?

A field of 392 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 3.108 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Will County Brew Run 5k?

The 3.108 Miles winner ran 19:28 while the median finisher took 35:40. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
