Oregon Brewery Running Series
Portland, Oregon
Oregon Brewery Running Series hosts untimed, 5K fun run/walk events that start and end at different breweries in Portland and across Oregon and SW Washington. Events welcome runners and walkers of all levels and include post-run beer, food, and brewery entertainment.
About This Club
Oregon Brewery Running Series puts on untimed 5K run/walk events at different breweries across Portland, Oregon, and SW Washington, each one starting and finishing at the host taproom. The $40-$45 entry covers a craft beer and seasonal merchandise or a collector's glass, so the post-run hang is built right into the ticket. If you want a low-pressure reason to explore a new brewery and actually move your legs first, this is designed around exactly that.
Highlights
- Craft beer included
- Seasonal merchandise
- Collector's glassware
- Live music
- Yard games
- Giveaways
Who It Suits
This suits casual runners, walkers, and anyone who is more interested in the social side of being active than hitting a PR. If you are training for a race and need a structured long run or a specific pace workout, this is not that - but it pairs well with a heavier training week as a fun recovery outing.

What a Run With Them Is Like
Every event is a 5K on city streets, untimed, and they encourage you to walk, jog, or run however you want. There is no gun-start race energy here, no chip, no pace group pressure.
Because the route starts and ends at the brewery, you will always know where you are headed back to. Typical start times run around 10:00-11:00 AM on Saturdays, though that shifts depending on which brewery is hosting, so check the specific event before you show up.

Your First Run
When you arrive, head to the host brewery taproom - that is the meeting point and the finish line. You do not need to know anyone; people tend to show up solo or in pairs and fall in with whoever is nearby.
Because the run is untimed and walkers are explicitly welcome, being at the back of the pack is a completely normal place to be. After you finish, the event stays open at the taproom with your included beer, food, live music, yard games, and giveaways, which means there is a natural reason to stick around rather than feeling like you need to disappear quickly.

Common Questions About Oregon Brewery Running Series
Do I have to run the whole thing, or can I walk?
Walking is fully welcome. They describe the events as run/walk from the start, and there is no timing or pressure to run any of it.
How much does it cost and what do I get?
Each event is $40-$45, which includes one craft beer and either seasonal merchandise or a collector's glass from the host brewery.
Do I need to be a member or sign up in advance?
No membership is required. Events are one-off, so you sign up for whichever ones you want to attend rather than committing to a recurring club.
Where exactly do I go when I show up?
Each event starts and finishes at the host brewery taproom. The specific brewery changes with every event, so check the event details ahead of time so you have the right address.
How often do events happen?
There is no fixed weekly schedule - events are spread through the year at different locations. Check their schedule directly to see what is coming up near you.
Where this comes from: Club details come from each club’s own channels (their site, Meetup, Strava and social posts) and are checked by hand. Group runs move, so confirm the meeting spot on the club’s latest post before you head out. Last updated July 2026.
