What truly sets the Indiana Brewery Running Series apart is its commitment to both fun and philanthropy. Since its inception in Indiana in 2018, the series has garnered a reputation for fostering a laid-back, social environment where the finish line reward is a well-deserved craft brew and a collector's pint glass or seasonal swag. Beyond the personal accomplishment and delicious beer, a portion of all proceeds supports local nonprofits, with the national series having raised over $500,000 to date. Runners consistently praise the friendly ambiance, the chance to explore local areas, and the satisfaction of contributing to a good cause. Due to the intimate settings of the host breweries, many events, including this popular Fishers gathering, tend to sell out quickly.

Whether you're looking to achieve a new personal best or simply enjoy a scenic stroll with friends, the Indiana Brewery Running Series offers a unique blend of exercise and camaraderie.
