Lace up for a refreshing twist on the traditional 5K with the Indiana Brewery Running Series in Indianapolis on May 9, 2026. This popular event offers a "5k-ish" fun run that begins and ends at a local brewery, providing a unique blend of exercise and community spirit. On a typical race day in early May, participants can expect pleasant conditions with highs around 72°F and lows around 52°F, and only a 20% chance of precipitation, perfect for enjoying the scenic routes mapped out to showcase the surrounding Indianapolis neighborhood.

What truly sets the Indiana Brewery Running Series apart is its emphasis on fun, fitness, and philanthropy. It's an untimed, non-competitive event, welcoming runners, walkers, and joggers of all abilities to enjoy the camaraderie without pressure. The course, while on open roads (participants are advised to obey traffic laws), is well-marked with arrow signs and supported by volunteer guides to ensure everyone stays on track. Following your 3.1-mile journey, the celebration continues at the finish line, where a well-deserved craft brew and a collector's pint glass or series swag await.

The Indiana Brewery Running Series events are renowned for their lively post-run atmosphere, often featuring live music, food trucks, and various giveaways, fostering a vibrant social gathering for participants. Beyond the beer and good times, a significant portion of all proceeds is dedicated to supporting local non-profit organizations, making every step count towards a greater cause. This particular event on May 9, 2026, will be hosted by Chilly Water Brewing in Indianapolis, promising a fantastic local experience for all involved.
