Saturday, May 29, 2027. The run sets up at 10am‍ at ‍Mooshead Breweries, Saint John west side.

The 10k begins at about 10:40, with the 5k commencing at 11:00.

The finish line is uptown at the Marco Polo cruise terminal, where the beer festival continues until 3pm.

• A runner’s bib and full monitoring of your race time

• A medal of completion upon crossing the finish line

• Unlimited beverage samples

• A Port City Beer Run 2027 sample glass, to use during the event and to take home after

Aww yeah, we’re hotdogging all day thanks to our friends at Big Tide.

We won’t have any food available before the race, though, so make sure you fuel up how you like before the run.

Crazy right? In 2026 we sold out in January… 😬

Two things on that.

1) We continue to look for ways that we can maximize capacity. We’ve explored larger venues, but also need to make sure everyone is comfortable if we happen on cool weather. We’re doing our best to accommodate as many of you as possible.

2) The #1 best thing you can do to secure your spot is to register early. Here again is the registration link.

Not to worry, we take things one at a time! The event begins with the road race, and ends at the festival venue where you can then savour as many samples of beer as you wish (among other refreshments) while you savour your accomplishments.

Tickets are nonrefundable, but you can transfer your registration to somebody else. The deadline to do this is one week prior to the event: Saturday May 22.

Ummm… yes, we can, up to a certain point. We can only assure changes to your registration name if you make your request at least one week in advance, by May 22. It’s your responsibility to clarify the record in time, Legs. Later requests cannot be accommodated!

We will be setting up to provide you with your race bibs during the two days before the event. Please make sure to pick these up in advance. If you wait until Saturday morning, you may not get your bib in time (and lose access to race tracking). Typically we set up at Picaroons General Store uptown. We’ll confirm closer to the date.

Make sure to arrive at Moosehead Breweries around 10am so you have enough time to prepare, warm up, etc. It’s a fun environment there in the morning!

Yes. It’s an alcohol-oriented event, and all participants must be 19+.

Absolutely, throughout the course of the road race and at the finish line! Many family members and friends come every year. However, only registered participants may come into the festival venue after the race.

Oh we still run, just more wetly! The whole event is rain or shine, road race included. Historically we’ve been slightly cursed with damp climes, but you wouldn’t know it from the smiles and enthusiasm of the participants. (Seriously.) Anyway, this is gonna be our warmest and sunniest year ever. Bet.

You can choose to do that, for sure. Registration remains the same price (there is no run-skipping discount) due to limited capacity.

Some vendors may bring non- or low-alcohol beverages, but this isn’t guaranteed. We will have plenty of complimentary water available, and you are also welcome to bring non-alcoholic refreshments of your choice.

Definitely. Stay tuned for more details!
