A 5k fun run ... with beer ... at the Craft Beer Show!

If you ever looked at the Ribfest and Craft Beer Show and said, "the only thing that could make this better is running," then this is for you. Back in 2026, Run Waterloo is partnering with your favourite summer festival.

RUN at RIBFEST: Sunday July 19, 11:00 a.m.

RIBFEST & CRAFT BEER SHOW: July 17-19

Run at Ribfest pairs craft brews with running in the best possible way. We've put together a 1.25k loop through Victoria park that starts and ends in the licensed area, where you drink a beer sample each loop. On top of that, race entry comes with more beer tokens and everything in the Sunday Ribfest VIP package. Why wouldn't you want to #RunAtRibfest?

Run Waterloo Members Save!

25% of the registration fee to Run Waterloo (total price net of the VIP Ticket). Eg. the current price is $70, of which $35 is directly VIP and $35 is Run Waterloo race entry. RW Member saves 25% on $35, so $8.75! One of many reasons to join the RW Membership!
