LET’S GET ART CAR WEEK ROLLIN’ & RUNNING!

Mark your calendar and register for the Art Car IPA 5K presented by the University of Houston Downtown on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at Texas' oldest craft brewery — Saint Arnold Brewing Company. Get funky, get creative and show us your artistic talent as we party and revel in the art of running and drinking the best in Texas craft beer!

Race registration includes a sweet, gender specific dry fit style shirt, an Art Car IPA 5K finisher medal, finisher pint glass and your choice of three Saint Arnold beverages to fill it!

Don’t want to run or walk and just want to party? Yeah, that’s cool too…and we’ve got you covered with the Beer & Party Pass option! With this you get the finisher pint glass and three Saint Arnold beverages to fill it and the ability to join the party!

Saint Arnold’s Art Car IPA beer debuted in August 2015 and was inspired by a fleet of hand painted Art Cars which were created by local artists for the brewery and the label artwork was designed by renowned Houston graffiti artist GONZO247, who has painted four Saint Arnold Art Cars. This hip-hop inspired artist perfectly created a brand worthy of a run that will have you running, sipping and then getting groovy on the dance floor at the post race rave (we mean party!).
