Lace up for a refreshing experience at the Ohio Brewery Running Series 5K, hosted at Market Garden Brewery in Cleveland, OH, on August 22, 2026. This unique event invites runners, walkers, and joggers of all paces to enjoy a "5k-ish" course that starts and finishes at the popular Market Garden Brewery. The route promises scenic views as it winds through nearby Cleveland streets and pathways, offering a chance to explore the vibrant Ohio City neighborhood. Expect generally mild conditions for race day, with typical highs around 80F and lows around 67F, and a modest 12% chance of precipitation.

More than just a race, the Ohio Brewery Running Series blends active fun with a celebratory atmosphere. Upon crossing the finish line, participants are rewarded with a well-deserved craft brew from Market Garden Brewery and a collector's pint glass or seasonal swag item. The post-run festivities often include live music, engaging games, and offerings from partners and sponsors, creating a lively community gathering. While extensive aid stations are not typical for this casual 5K distance, the focus remains on enjoyment and camaraderie. Dogs and strollers are welcome to join the fun, though participants are reminded to follow traffic laws on the open course.

What truly sets this event apart is its commitment to local community support. As part of the wider Brewery Running Series—a national phenomenon that began in 2012 and boasts over 300 events across 20+ states—a portion of all proceeds benefits local nonprofits. For this specific Cleveland event, 10% of the earnings will be donated to a local nonprofit chosen by Market Garden Brewery, adding a meaningful layer to your race day enjoyment. Past participants consistently praise the Ohio Brewery Running Series for its well-organized events and positive, welcoming vibes, ensuring a memorable experience for everyone.
