Port City Beer Run + Brew Fest 2024

More Than a Run!

Hey Beer Lovers + Runners!


Your favourite Port City Beer Run is back and brought to you again by the team at Uncorked Tours! We've been working to pump up the excitement and make this run the hoppiest, bubbliest, and fest-iest yet.


If you're running, your 5k begins at 11AM at Moosehead Breweries with a quick stretch, then a fun and easy run (or walk) down Harbour Passage to The Marco Polo Cruise Terminal (MPCT). You'll be welcomed at the finish line with cheers and beers from dozens of New Brunswick beer, cider, wine and spirit producers.


Join us at the Beer Fest and leave the running shoes at home. Once again, this year, we're offering Fan tickets. This means that everyone is welcome to enjoy the festivities. You'll start your day at 12PM at the finish line at the MPCT.


We are happy to partner with the Saint John Community Food Basket Inc. for our event! They're dedicated to meet the needs of the hungry in our community in a manner that maintains dignity, builds community and challenges inequality. Over the years they have made a huge impact in our community. Help us support their work by joining us at the Port City Beer Run + Brew Fest. A portion of our proceeds will be directly donated.

  • Get conditioned for the Port City Beer Run + Brew Fest by running the Port City Beer Mile Challenge! It's a fun run scheduled for May 4th. The purpose of the event is to amp up the excitement leading up to the Port City Beer Run + Brew Fest 2024. We’ve mapped out a route that is approximately 1 mile, as runners you will make pit stops at designated establishments Uptown, purchase a drink, get your passport stamped, and then continue on to your next stop. Participants who successfully complete the Port City Beer Mile Challenge will have a chance to win a prize by having their names entered into a draw. We expect to kick off around 2pm and have everything wrapped up by 4pm.
