The 2025 Texas 5k 6-Pack Beer Challenge is OPEN!
More running? With Texas-brewed craft beer at the finish line?
YES PLEASE!
The 2025 Texas 5k 6-Pack Beer Challenge takes you to great independent breweries around Texas for running, beer and fun! Travel to breweries near San Antonio, Houston, Austin, the Hill Country and beyond for a series of 5k running events, each one followed by your choice of craft beer.
Complete at least 6 events to finish your own personal 6-Pack and earn the coveted 6-Pack custom finisher medal!
Each brewery is a destination in itself, with its own one-of-a-kind energy and distinct beer styles, set against the backdrop of a uniquely different part of Texas. Each course takes you through scenic countryside, neighborhoods, rural roads, small towns or a little of each. Walkers always welcome!
Once you complete your 5k, you’ll collect your souvenir pint glass and enjoy your choice of four 8-oz. pours (that’s 2 pints!), all included with your entry! Savor your beer and your achievement as you celebrate with fellow beer-loving runners.
CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE!
Pick the number of events and the races that work for you! Sign up for all 12, a minimum of 6 or any amount in between!

FAQs & Details:
What if something comes up and I can’t attend an event I’m signed up for?
We understand that sometimes plans change and things come up. You have a few options if you can’t make it to a race you’ve signed up for:
- Transfer your registration to another beer run. Only 2 changes max per year. All changes must be made at least 3 weeks prior to the event – we cannot transfer entries after that.
- Run virtually! If you sign up for an event but can’t make it, you always have the option of running virtually. Just email us at 6pack@RunInTexas.com BEFORE race day to let us know you’ll run virtually (this allows us to save your packet for you). Then email us your time after you’ve completed your run and we’ll enter it in your results to count toward your 6-Pack goal. You can pick up your packet at the next event, have a friend collect your packet for you at the event or pay a $10 shipping/handling fee to have it mailed to you (unfortunately we cannot ship pint glasses or beer).
What if I want to add an additional event later?
Simply register for the additional event and email 6Pack@RunInTexas.com to let us know to add it to your 6-Pack series.
How do I get my Official 2025 Texas 5k 6-Pack Beer Challenge Shirt?
You must register for the 6-Pack by May 3 to guarantee your official 2025 Texas 5k 6-Pack shirt. Shirts will be available at the No Label Brewing Co. 5k on June 14 and at all following 6-Pack races. Shirts may be available for those registering for the 6-Pack after May 3, but availability and sizes are not guaranteed.
When do I get my finisher medal?
All registered 5k 6-Pack Challengers who complete at least 6 events in the series will receive their custom finisher medal following the final event in the series, the Real Ale 5k Beer Run on December 6, 2025. If you can’t make it to this event, you can have another runner pick up your medal and packet or pay $10 for shipping & handling to have it mailed to you.
