Montana Brewery Running Series

Lace up for a spirited blend of fitness and local flavor at the Montana Brewery Running Series 5K in Frenchtown, MT, on March 21, 2026. This untimed, "5K-ish" fun run welcomes participants of all abilities—runners, walkers, and joggers alike—to enjoy a vibrant, no-pressure atmosphere. The course begins and ends at the beloved Old Bull Brewing, guiding participants along a scenic route that typically features a mix of pavement, gravel, and dirt trails through neighborhood areas, offering picturesque views of the surrounding Montana landscape. While roads remain open, the clearly marked course ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience, culminating back at the brewery for a well-deserved celebration.

This event stands out for its unique "run for beer" concept, fostering a festive, community-focused environment where good vibes flow as freely as the craft beverages. Upon crossing the finish line, participants are rewarded with a refreshing local craft beer and often receive a collector's pint glass or seasonal swag. Beyond the run, the day frequently includes lively festivities such as local live music, food trucks, and giveaways, making it a perfect outing for friends and family. Expect typical race day conditions in late March to be crisp, with highs around 51F and lows around 29F, and a minimal 4% chance of precipitation, creating invigorating weather for your run.

The Montana Brewery Running Series prides itself on combining active fun with local charm, and a portion of all proceeds supports local non-profit organizations, adding a meaningful dimension to your participation. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply seeking a fun way to engage with the community and enjoy great craft beer, the Frenchtown 5K promises an unforgettable experience.
