Denver Beer Company 50k Run | Solo or Relay | Co Brewery Running Series

Join us for the Denver Beer Co. 50k run on Saturday, May 3, 2025. This unique urban odyssey 50k run connects all 5 Denver Beer Co. Taprooms (Olde Towne Arvada > Platte St. > Lowry > South Downing > Littleton).

Compete as a solo runner or as a relay team. Relay teams can have up to 4 competitors.

This is a point-to-point run, starting at the Denver Beer Co. Olde Town Arvada location, and ending at the Denver Beer Co. Littleton location. Along the way, runners will hit 3 more DBC taprooms (Platte St., Lowry, and South Downing). These three along-the-way taprooms will function as the relay hand-off points for all relay team competitors. These taprooms will function as rest and re-hydration stations (water and beer!) for all runners.

This event is not chip-timed, but there will be a Brewery Running Series staff team at each transition point and the finish line recording your unofficial arrival times.

This is an open-route course, meaning streets/paths/trails/etc. will NOT be closed, and you will be running at your own risk. You are responsible for obeying all rules of the road. On-line Strava maps and print-off directions/maps will be provided, but you are responsible for your safety, on-course fueling and hydration, and navigation.

All runners (solo and relay) will be required to check in at each transition point. All runners are required to carry a device/app that tracks their distance/time (watch or phone), and all runners must carry a cell phone with them on their leg/run. A battery pack is suggested for all 50k solo runners. Phone charging stations will be available at each transition point.

START TIMES: Solo runners will start at 9:00am and relay teams will start at 9:15am.

FINISH DEADLINE: The finish line closes at 7:15pm. See the schedule below for cutoff times for each segment.
