Lace up your shoes for the 3rd Annual Screamin' Hill Scramble 5K, a truly unique running experience set for Saturday, April 18, 2026, in Cream Ridge, NJ. This chip-timed 5K run/walk takes you on a scenic journey through Screamin' Hill Brewery, New Jersey's first farm brewery. The course itself is a cross-country style adventure, featuring groomed trails and short-cut grass winding through the 170-acre farm, allowing you to run past the very fields that grow ingredients for the brewery's craft beers. The terrain is welcoming for all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned runners, promising an engaging race without extreme difficulty.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions in mid-April, with highs around 65°F and lows around 41°F, and only a 15% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant running weather. A water station will be available on the course to keep you hydrated, with additional water and bananas awaiting you at the finish line. What truly sets this race apart is the vibrant post-race celebration: enjoy live music, indulge in delicious offerings from food trucks, and receive a well-deserved craft beer (or soda for those under 21) included with your entry.

The Screamin' Hill Scramble 5K offers more than just a race; it's a full experience. Participants receive a custom race tech shirt and a "Screamin' Hill Scramble 5K Coaster Finisher Medal" to commemorate their achievement. Free downloadable photos will capture your race day memories, and the event is limited to 300 participants, ensuring a personable atmosphere. Packet pick-up is conveniently located at the "Good Day for a Run" tent at the farm brewery on race day, starting at 7:30 AM, with the race officially kicking off at 9:00 AM.
