Join us Father's Day Weekend for the 10th 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.

Course Info:

The race will course will take place in the Carolina Beach State Park. This is single track so you may traverse roots, rocks, soft sand and other trail elements. Keep your eyes focused on the trail ahead so you know where your next step should be. 

Runners / walkers will assemble 15 minute prior to the race in the Good Hops parking lot for race instructions. We will then cross Dow Road together with the assistance of the CB Police Department. The race start is marked on the greenway. When the horn sounds, you will run about 25 yards then take a hard left onto the single track. The course is well marked as you will go out, do a loop and return to the start of the trail. The finish will be marked right before the return to the greenway.
