Good Hops 5k'ish Beer Run 2027

Join us Father's Day Weekend (Saturday, June 19th) for the 12th annual Good Hops “Will Run for Beer” trail race followed by post-race awards and festivities at the brewery! This 5k(ish) beer run/walk will start at Good Hops Brewing & run through the trails in the spectacular Carolina Beach State Park. We look forward to seeing all of our repeat runners again and hope to meet new participants as well. Come for a fun morning, stay to hang out with some familiar faces, and be sure to meet the new owners of Good Hops! All proceeds benefit the Carolina Beach Elementary School, and Friends of the State Park. We like to keep this race small, organic and affordable so we hope you enjoy the "old school" feel of the run/walk. Sunday, June 7th - Guaranteed t-shirt for runners registered by Sunday, June 6th . We will do our best to accommodate late registrations, but we cannot guarantee you your choice of t-shirt size. So, sign up early because the t's are always super rad. Shirts are adult unisex xs through xxl. If you can't decide, please select the larger size. We will not be able to accommodate changes to sizes. Runners over 21 will receive the official Good Hops Beer Run cup and a beer with registration. Runners under the age of 21 will receive an age-appropriate treat following the race. We will shoot for the Award Ceremony to occur at 11:30 so hang out with us for a few beers and food. The generous CB Island Men will be making there "World Famous Breakfast Sandwiches" All proceeds directly go back to the community. Packet pick-up is 5:00 to 7:30 June 18th Friday evening at Good Hops Brewery in Carolina Beach. Additional packet pickup and late registration will be between 7:30 and 8:40 on Saturday, race day morning. Come Friday to carb load with some hoppy beer. This run is in the state park so you can expect soft sand, roots, rocks, and uneven ground. Use strollers at your own risk. We love dogs and leashed dogs are welcome at Good Hops. B
