Event Info
Come test yourself on a hilly 5k course with a mix of road and trails. Starting amongst the trees of Queen's Park, the 2.5km loop starts on a fast downhill where you'll zoom past the heritage homes of Queen's Park. You'll take the winding path through the park, with a mix of ups and downs. Be prepared for the short, steep hill at the 2k (and 4.5k) mark, where we will have a cheering section to keep your spirits high. Enter back into the woodland area to finish the first loop and hit the halfway point. One more loop and you're done!
As a participant, you’ll receive a finisher’s medal, bib, timing chip, and a grab bag filled with exciting giveaways from local businesses. At the finish line, we’ll provide water, bananas, and electrolytes from Organika. S&O will host a beer garden offering plenty of beer and non-alcoholic options, along with food truck, Crack On, where participants and supporters can celebrate the day.
Whether you’re a seasoned runner or a newcomer to the sport, the Steel & Oak Beer Run is the perfect opportunity to get active, have fun, and support a great cause. So lace up your running shoes and join us for a day of fitness, philanthropy, and fun!

Race Kit Pickup
Cheer Section
Tell your friends, family, neighbors, social media followers, pets to come support you on race day. The course loop finishes with a short, steep uphill. We think this is a spot where everyone may need a little boost. Therefore, we will be hosting a designated cheer section on the hill. Supporters will be directed to this area to wave signs, cheer, stomp their feet or any other way of firing you up. Expect an immediate rush of energy and an effortless glide to the finish line.
