No. You can walk, or crawl. Every champion was once a contender who refused to give up.

You can also just skip the running run/walk altogether and just meet us for the Beer Fest.

Absolutely not. Enjoying a beer (or a few beers) is entirely at your discretion. No pressure. Only do it if it feels good.

Yes! Beerathon is for everyone. As long as you have secured your ticket for the post race beer fest before we sell out, you’ll be able to enjoy some great beers with us!

Admission to the post race beer fest will depend on the ticket category that you purchased. Some tickets include post-race admission (discounted rate for 5K runners), and some just include the 5K. Check your ticket type to make sure you purchased the experience you want! Neither Beerathon 5K nor 5K allow admission to the post-race Beer Fest unless you also added Beer Fest Admission to your purchase.

Neither Beerathon 5K nor 5K allow admission to the post-race Beer Fest unless you also added Beer Fest Admission to your purchase. If you purchased Beerathon 5K tickets, those beers are out on the course, 1 at each mile (1 mile marker, 2 mile marker, finish line).

Runner's high refers to a euphoric feeling that some runners experience after a run.

It's often described as a sense of well-being, reduced stress, and even mild euphoria. Runner's high is thought to be caused by the release of endorphins, which are neurotransmitters produced by the body in response to stress and pain. These endorphins interact with receptors in the brain to reduce the perception of pain and induce feelings of pleasure or euphoria. Additionally, other neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin may also play a role in producing the feelings associated with runner's high.

Overall, runner's high is a natural and enjoyable reward for engaging in physical activity.

You definitely should talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise program. Depending on your individual medical conditions, medications and overall conditioning, a doctor may advise different levels of activity. A patient’s activities, weight loss and frequency of exercise may affect prescriptions and dosing of medications.

An important reason to talk to your doctor prior to exercise is the elevated risk of heart attack or cardiac complications for anyone who has not been active in a long time. Other areas of concern include joint care, blood chemistry and internal organ issues (lung and kidney). These ailments may predispose you to heart issues.

We want to encourage physical activity and help you get healthy, even if we have to bribe you with some beer.

By participating in the Beerathon, you’re responsible for your own safety and waive any and all claims against us.

We love Philly. The beer community in Philly is among the best in the country, and the local craft brewers are world class. We’re just grateful to be a part of it ❤️.

Yes. Participants must be at least 21 years old, with photo ID.

The Beerathon - like life - is rain or shine. Let’s get after it 💪

Beerathon takes over The Navy Yard, so expect the usual 5K access and parking limitations that come with it. We strongly encourage use of public transportation or ride sharing apps.

The 5K will be a totally doable course around The Navy Yard. Use the following address for your GPS: 4747 South Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19112

The Beer Fest goes down at Marine Parade Grounds, the historic 8-acre green in the middle of The Navy Yard.

If you purchased Beerathon 5K tickets, those beers are out on the course, 1 at each mile (1 mile marker, 2 mile marker, finish line).

If you prefer to save the beer for after the race, then you can always add on a Beer Fest Admission to your purchase (for a discount). Neither Beerathon 5K nor 5K allow admission to the post-race Beer Fest unless you also added Beer Fest Admission to your purchase.
