We are the Michigan Brewery Running Series and we run for beer!

Join us at HOMEGROWN on SEPTEMBER 17 for a 5k fun run course that starts and ends at this awesome taproom in OXFORD. Weave through the surrounding area at whatever pace you like, no matter what there’s a beer waiting for you at the finish line!

What’s included?! All* participants receive:

FREE craft brew from HOMEGROWN
Your choice of a collector’s pint glass or seasonal swag item from the Brewery Running Series
Your chance to win sweet door prizes, like Brewery Running Series merchandise or a growler to take home
Access to event festivities, games, goodies and giveaways 
And more!
We are all about being active, having fun and giving back to our local community. Since our inaugural event (the Brewery Running Series was founded in Minnesota in 2012), we have been able to donate over $250,000 back to local nonprofits. This event will add to that tally! So not only do you get to a little exercise and enjoy a great beer, you are contributing to our awesome community. Portion of all proceeds from this event supports: BOY SCOUT TROOP 1407

Registration is limited, so sign up today!
