Get ready to hit the pavement for a cause at the 9th Annual The Longest Day 5K/10K/0.5k Beer Run by Beard vs Beans, taking place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in beautiful San Antonio, TX. This highly anticipated event channels the spirited rivalry of brothers Matthew "Beard" and Miguel "Beans" into a powerful fundraiser, with 100% of proceeds dedicated to the Alzheimer's Association of San Antonio and South Texas. Runners can choose their challenge from a traditional 5K or 10K, embrace the fun of the 0.5k Beer Run, or cheer on the next generation in the 0.5k Kids Run, ensuring an option for every age and pace.
The race unfolds on a road course within San Antonio's scenic Comanche Park, providing a generally accessible route. Typical race day conditions in mid-June in San Antonio usually feature highs around 95°F and lows around 74°F, with a minimal 7% chance of precipitation, so participants should prepare for a warm start. All 5K and 10K finishers will proudly receive a medal and a high-quality race shirt. Participants in the lively 0.5k Beer Run will be awarded a commemorative beer mug, with special recognition for the winner, while young athletes in the 0.5k Kids Run will also earn a medal and a shirt.
This event stands out not only for its inclusive distances and celebratory atmosphere, but primarily for its profound commitment to fighting Alzheimer's disease. Your participation directly supports vital programs and research. Packet pickup typically occurs the day before the race at Burleson Yard Beer Garden, offering an early chance to connect with fellow runners and kick off the weekend's festivities. Join the Beard vs Beans team and contribute to a meaningful cause while enjoying a memorable run in San Antonio.
