Join us Saturday, November 7, 2026 at Centennial Park in Santa Ana for Beer City Half™ Orange County! See the sights, run the trails, and drink the brews. Beer City Festival is a full day of fun. Drink local and dig it!
Beer City OC starts in Centennial Park and runs along the Santa Ana River Trail through Fountain Valley, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, and Newport Beach (our hometown!). It includes a half marathon, 10k, and 5k distances. The Beer Stroll is a 1-mile walk for those who are mostly in it for the beer. Click Learn More & Register for all course and race information.
When you get home we will be there with tastes from a selection of great, local Orange County brewers.
You don’t have to have been part of other Beer City races to have a great time. You also don’t have to care for beer. This gathering is meant for everyone and it’s made by runners, for runners. So come out for a great time with sunshine, running, beer, and celebrating.
All runners receive a shirt, a Key to Beer City finisher’s medal, a custom tasting glass and unlimited tasting at the post-run Festival.
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!
Beat the Beast takes place at 11am. All Beasts receive a special finishers medal and beer of course.
