The Illinois Brewery Running Series - Empirical Brewing is a Running race in Chicago, Illinois consisting of a 5K.

We are the Illinois Brewery Running Series and we run for beer!

Join us at Empirical Brewery for a 5k-ish course that starts and ends at this awesome Ravenswood brewery! Weave through the surrounding area at whatever pace you like, no matter what there's a beer waiting for you at the finish line!

What's included?! All participants receive:

FREE craft brew from Empirical
Your choice of a collector's pint glass or seasonal swag item from the Brewery Running Series
Your chance to win sweet door prizes, like Brewery Running Series merchandise or a growler to take home
Access to event festivities: live music, food trucks, local vendors, fun with our partners and sponsors, goodies and giveaways
And more!
We are all about being active, having fun and giving back to our local community. Since our inaugural event (the Brewery Running Series was founded in Minnesota in 2012), we have been able to donate over $160,000 back to local nonprofits. This event will add to that tally! 10% of all proceeds goes directly to Chicago Run and Chicago Parks Foundations, awesome local organizations that make Chicago a great place to live. So not only do you get to a little exercise and enjoy a great beer, you are contributing to our awesome community!
