5K Fun Run x FORTNIGHT BREWING CO | 2026 NC Brewery Running Series

We are the North Carolina Brewery Running Series® and we run for beer!

Join us for a 5K-ish fun run that starts and ends at FORTNIGHT BREWING CO. Run, walk, jog—whatever goes! This event is for all ages and all fitness levels. Move at your own pace, get outside, then celebrate with a cold, locally made craft beverage at the finish line. 🎉

• Time: 11 am (recommended arrival: 10:45 am)

• Access to the day’s fun: music, food, games, and partner activations 🎶🍔🎉
