Registration Link
If you would like to be placed in a wave with another individual, please note that during your registration process. Understand that the adult and youth races are different distances, hence, they will have their own separate waves. Adults will not be able to race with their children as they will be in different waves. We will make every effort to place the youth in a wave near their parent’s start time.
Race Details
• Athletes will be assigned wave start times to compete in by the race organizers. The waves will be posted on this site and will also be emailed to participants.
• Athletes must be checked in for their wave at least 45 minutes prior to their start time. Any athlete that does not show up 45 min before the start time will have their spot forfeited.
• Athletes will have volunteers to record your distances in each event. Athletes will be asked to sign their distance card after the run is completed verifying that they are in agreement with the distances calculated.
• Body marking / numbers will be assigned when athletes check in with the Head Swim Timer. Athletes will start in the pool in their assigned lane. Each athlete will have their own lane!
• Any stroke may be used in the swim and athletes may walk if their feet can touch the ground. No life jackets, floaties, paddleboards, or outside assistance is permitted.
• Athletes have 15min to transition to the bike / run area in the fieldhouse. Athletes need to be prepared to move swiftly as the bike starts promptly 15 minutes after the end of the swim.
• The bike portion of the race is on an assigned stationary bike (We will be using Keiser stationary bikes in the event). Setting your seat height and warming up is part of the transition time.
• There is no standing on the bike. First violation will result in a warning and the second violation will result in disqualification
• During the run portion of the event, full laps and ½ laps will be credited (10 laps will equate to 1 mile)
• Results will be posted periodically in the fieldhouse, emailed to participants and will also be posted here after the race: https://runsignup.com/Race/IndoorTri/Page/RaceResults

A Beer 5K & St. Charles BrewFest
Hops for Hope is not your typical 5K. It is a race and a celebration all in one!
Named one of the Top 100 Races in America by BibRave, our certified and professionally timed 5K welcomes everyone from competitive runners chasing a PR to walkers who simply love great craft beer. However you pace yourself, this event is for you.
The race begins at the scenic Mount Saint Mary Park in St. Charles, winds along the beautiful river path toward Geneva through Wheeler Park, and finishes back at Mount Saint Mary Park just in time for the BrewFest celebration.
The Twist? Beer on the Course.
That’s right. Along the route, runners will find Beer Stops featuring local craft breweries serving 3-ounce samples. Weird? We prefer to call it deliciously fun.
The Celebration Continues at BrewFest
After crossing the finish line, the party kicks off with:
-
18 beer samples included with your registration
-
Live music
-
Food vendors
-
Raffle tickets for our fan-favorite Mountain of Beer
-
Our inspiring Adaptive Bike Giveaway Presentation, the heart of why we gather
-
Why We Run and Sip
-
Proceeds from Hops for Hope support Project Mobility’s mission to provide adaptive cycling opportunities for children, adults, and wounded service members with disabilities.
Over the past 9 years, this event has helped us donate nearly $80,000 in adaptive bicycles and we are just getting started.
Run. Sip. Celebrate. Make a difference.
