Join us on Saturday, October 10, 2026 at Panther Island Pavilion for Beer City Half™ Fort Worth! See the sights, run the river, and drink the brews that make Fort Worth a Beer City all its own. Beer City Festival is a full day of fun. Drink local and dig it!
We are thrilled to bring Fort Worth more racing and MORE beer tasting! Come join us for our Texas kickoff! We offer half marathon, 10k and 5k races. The Beer Stroll is a 1-mile walk around Panther Island. Beat The Beast? Well that’s something totally different.
The post-race refreshment will introduce you to some of Fort Worth and Texas’ best brewers. What better place to DRINK LOCAL than Fort Worth?
All runners receive a shirt, a Key to Beer City finisher’s medal, a custom tasting glass.
Beat the Beast is our special beer mile where you race others and one of our Beer City Beasts. Drink 4 12-oz beers while running a mile. If the Beast catches you, you’re out of the race. Better move quickly! Be the Beast that YOU are.
