Oregon Brewery Running Series

Lace up your shoes for the Oregon Brewery Running Series 5K on July 25, 2026, a truly unique experience that combines fitness, fun, and fantastic local brews in Portland, OR. This untimed "5K-ish" fun run or walk starts and ends at Leikam Brewing, offering a relaxed atmosphere where all paces and abilities are welcome. Participants, often joined by friends, family, strollers, and even dogs, will navigate scenic routes designed to showcase the local neighborhood, culminating in a well-deserved celebration.

This event is less about setting a personal record and more about community and enjoyment. Runners rave about the happy energy and inclusive vibe, where the primary goal is to be active and have fun. Typical race day conditions in late July feature comfortable highs around 84F and lows around 60F, with a minimal 2% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a leisurely stroll or an invigorating run. Upon crossing the finish line, every participant receives a complimentary craft brew from Leikam Brewing and their choice of a collector's pint glass or seasonal swag item.

Beyond the personal reward, the Oregon Brewery Running Series holds a strong commitment to giving back, donating a portion of all proceeds to local non-profit organizations, having raised over $500,000 to date. Expect an engaging post-run atmosphere with potential for live music, games, and sponsor activities. There are typically no aid stations along the course, so plan accordingly, but the lively start and finish at the brewery more than make up for it with camaraderie and local flavor.
