Lace up your sneakers for the inaugural Rebel 5K Brew Run on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in scenic Acushnet, MA. This unique 3.1-mile run/walk invites participants of all levels to traverse a peaceful neighborhood course, culminating in an exhilarating Brew Fest. The event kicks off at St. Francis Xavier School at 223 Main Street, which also serves as the finish line and hub for the post-race celebration. Typical race day conditions in April offer pleasant highs around 56F and lows of 35F, with only a 15% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a spirited run or leisurely walk.
What truly sets the Rebel 5K Brew Run apart is its vibrant post-race party, designed for both runners and their families. After crossing the finish line, participants can enjoy a lively atmosphere featuring music, free samples of beer, wine, and food from local favorites like A&M Winery, Sakonnet Vineyards, and Red Hand Brewery. While the focus is on a fun run, all alcoholic beverages are served responsibly *after* the race. Runners aged 21 and over receive entrance into the post-party with their registration, which also includes the chance to snag a complimentary event t-shirt for the first 200 participants. Pre- and post-race stretching and care will also be available on-site.
Beyond the course and festivities, the Rebel 5K Brew Run is a community-focused fundraising event benefiting St. Francis Xavier School and the broader Acushnet area. Non-runners and families are encouraged to join the celebration by purchasing Post Party Tickets, with kids under 12 entering for free to enjoy family-friendly entertainment like live music, face painting, and a magician. Limited parking is available at the school, with overflow parking and a free shuttle service from Pope Park and St. Francis Xavier Church. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or looking for a fantastic day out with friends and family, this event promises a memorable blend of fitness and community spirit.
