Pre-Game 5K Road Race

Get ready to kick off your Super Bowl Sunday with a run at the Pre-Game 5K Road Race on February 8, 2026, in Weymouth, Massachusetts. This lively event starts and finishes at the Barrel House Z Brewery in South Weymouth, offering a "fairly flat," USATF-certified neighborhood course that's perfect for runners of all levels. While typical race day conditions in early February can be chilly, with highs around 39F and lows near 22F and a 17% chance of precipitation, the festive atmosphere promises to keep spirits high.

What makes the Pre-Game 5K truly unique is its celebratory, pre-game vibe. As the South Shore's only Super Sunday Road Race, it’s designed for runners to socialize and enjoy themselves before the big football game. Your registration includes one complimentary craft brew (for those over 21) from Barrel House Z, along with light snacks and a food truck available for post-race refueling. For those who prefer the camaraderie without the mileage, the new Pre-Game 0.0K offers a chance to join the festivities, with the finish line and beer always near.

Beyond the flat course and refreshing post-race beer, the Pre-Game 5K offers exciting incentives including Puma shoes for the top three overall men and women, and for every 100th finisher. There are also special awards for top parent/child teams (with children up to age 14) and trophies for the largest mixed teams, fostering a fun, community-focused competitive spirit. Parking will be available around the brewery, with volunteers on hand to assist with options.
