Arizona Brewery Running Series

Lace up for a refreshing blend of fitness and local flavor at the Arizona Brewery Running Series 5K in Gilbert, AZ, on March 1, 2026. This untimed "5K-ish" fun run offers a relaxed and enjoyable experience, inviting runners, walkers, and joggers of all paces to explore the charming neighborhood streets and nearby paths of Gilbert. The course is designed for enjoyment, allowing participants to soak in the local scenery as they make their way to and from Desert Monks Brewing Co., the event's vibrant start and finish line. Typical race day conditions in early March bring pleasant highs around 77°F and comfortable lows around 43°F, with only a 4% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a leisurely outing.

What truly sets this event apart is its unique focus on community, craft beer, and giving back. The Arizona Brewery Running Series, which began in Minneapolis in 2012 and arrived in Arizona in 2019, consistently delivers a low-stakes, high-joy atmosphere where shared experiences and good vibes are paramount. Participants will find a water station at the turnaround point and small water bottles available at check-in to ensure hydration on the open course.

The celebration continues at the finish line, where every participant earns a well-deserved craft brew and a collector's pint glass or seasonal swag item. The post-race festivities at Desert Monks Brewing Co. often feature live music and a lively gathering, creating the perfect environment to relax, socialize, and savor your accomplishment with friends and fellow enthusiasts. A portion of all proceeds benefits local non-profit organizations, making this more than just a run; it's a celebration of an active lifestyle, local craft beer, and community support.
