Join us for our take on the Beer Mile and/or the Donut Hole Mile to be held as part of our 4th Year Anniversary celebration on Saturday, March 7th, 2026!
In the spirit of a traditional Beer Mile format, you'll have to drink one 12oz beer before running each quarter mile. Since we don't have a track at the Tap House, our course will be a quarter mile out and back loops alternating directions (starting eastbound) along Ralston Creek Trail. If you are looking to break the Guinness World Record you will need to look elsewhere ... but if you are the top male individual finisher, top female individual finisher or top team finisher, you will earn your spot on the Tap House Wall of Champions plaque! If your beer mile training level isn't quite there yet, grab a partner and sign up as a 2-person team and enjoy half the beer with twice the fun!
But first, we'll start with our family friendly Donut Hole Mile! Run in the same way as a Beer Mile ibut you eat progressively more donut holes before on each leg... 1 donut hole before the 1st quarter mile, 2 before the 2nd, 3 before you run your 3rd quarter mile and, of course, 4 right before you head out for the last leg of the mile for a grand total of 10 donut holes! Each runner will consume 5 glazed and 5 chocolate donut holes.
Due to congestion in the transition area, no strollers or dogs are allowed.

This family friendly event begins and ends on the track at the North Area Athletic Complex (NAAC) in Arvada with a scenic trek along the Fairmount Trail in the middle. Following the 5K there is a 50-yard Jordyn's Adaptive Dash where children with disabilities will show off their speed using adaptive equipment to walk, roll or ride to the finish line. This special event is a huge hit with spectators and participants alike.
We know you love your pooch and we're sure we would as well, but only service dogs with proper documentation are allowed inside the stadium at NAAC. For this reason, we ask that you leave your four-legged friends at home.
Packet pick-up is available on Saturday, May 16 from 3:00-5:00 at Barquentine Brewing Company at Edgewater Public Market. You may also pick up your packet on race morning from 7:45 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. at NAAC.
