The Official 2023 Texas 5k 6-Pack Beer Challenge Shirt

You must register for the 6-Pack by May 6 to guarantee your official 2023 Texas 5k 6-Pack shirt. Shirts will be available at the No Label Brewing Co. 5k on June 17 and at all following 6-Pack races. Shirts may be available for those registering for the 6-Pack after May 6 but availability and sizes are not guaranteed.

Finisher Medal Ceremony at the Real Ale 5k Beer Run, December 2, 2023

The 2023 Real Ale 5k Beer Run in Blanco is the final event in the series. All registered 5k 6-Pack Challengers who have completed at least six events will receive the highly coveted 6-Pack finisher medal after the race. Get a special bonus prize when you finish MORE than 6 events!

Virtual Option

If you can’t make it to an event, you can run it virtually! Email us at 6Pack@RunInTexas.com to let us know before race day that you’ll be running 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.

6-Pack runners may choose to run any event virtually and can receive their race packet in one of the following ways: We can ship to you for a $10 shipping and handling fee; a fellow 6-Packer can pick your packet up for you; or you may be able to collect your packet at future events. (Unfortunately we cannot ship pint glasses or beer with the virtual option).

“Wild Card” event

People get busy and life happens. In the event you cannot make 6 of the events in the series, Run In Texas offers at least one additional Texas craft brewery “wild card” event. This will be another 5k at a different brewery. With paid registration and completion of a wild card event, you can get credit towards completing the 6-pack. You must register and pay for the “wild card” events separately, but they are there if you need them.

2023 Wild Card Events

Our goal is to add additional new wild card events in 2023. Here are the 2 we have on the calendar thus far:

Pecan Street Brewing 5K Beer Run, June 3, Johnson City

Galveston Island Brewing Co. 5K Beer Run, Oct. 7, Galveston

The Fine Print

Sorry, no refunds and no bib transfers for Challenge participants.
While we proudly offer military discounts on individual registration for all Run In Texas events, we cannot offer military discounts for the Challenge because prices already include a discounted rate for all 9 events (and include 6-Pack swag!).
You must register for the 6-Pack by May 6 to guarantee your official 2023 Texas 5k 6-Pack tech shirt. Shirts may be available after that, but availability and sizes cannot be guaranteed.
You MUST be registered in the Challenge to be eligible to receive the 6-Pack finisher medal.
At each race, we work with local authorities and our venue partners to coordinate a safe, fun event. If it is determined that we cannot hold a race safely, the race may be rescheduled or cancelled. If cancelled, you will receive a credit that can be applied to a future event to ensure you get the full value of your 6-Pack registration.
