Hops for Hope 5K & BrewFest Presented by 93 Octane Brewery 2026 Race Details
The latest details from your Race Directors:
A Beer 5K & St. Charles BrewFestHops 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 BrewFestAfter 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.
