Gear up for the ultimate beer-fueled adventure across the Denver Metro area! The Denver Beer Co. 50K, brought to you by Denver Beer Co. and Colorado Brewing Running Series, is not your average race – it’s a journey through hops, suds, and smiles.
Compete as an individual or a relay team. This unique urban odyssey 50K connects all five Denver Beer Co. taprooms across the Denver metro.
Join us on Saturday, May 2, 2026 for the Denver Beer Co. 50K. This point-to-point run connects all five DBC taprooms:
Olde Town Arvada → Platte Street → Lowry → South Downing → Downtown Littleton
Participants can compete as a solo runner or as part of a relay team. Relay teams may have up to four runners.
The race begins at Denver Beer Co. Olde Town Arvada and finishes at Denver Beer Co. Littleton. Along the way, runners will pass through three additional taprooms: Platte Street, Lowry, and South Downing, which serve as relay transition points as well as rest and hydration stations for all participants.
