5k Fun Run at Slackers

4.8

Ready to lace up and run for some epic fun? The 5K Fun Run at Slackers Brewing Co. is your ticket to a day packed with running (or walking!), cold craft brews, and unbeatable vibes in Austin's Anderson Mill neighborhood.

This family-friendly brewery turns into race central with a scenic 5K-ish course that starts and ends right at their taproom. Perfect for newbies or pros, you'll jog through beautiful surroundings, cross the finish line, and grab a well-deserved pint from their awesome lineup like Stretchy Jorts Kölsch or The Situation West Coast IPA. It's all about that post-run high mixed with refreshing beer!

Every finisher scores big: a craft brew on the house, choice of a collector's pint glass or seasonal swag, chances to win Brewery Running Series prizes like merch or take-home beer, plus festivities with live music, games, and partner goodies. Bring friends, pups (they're dog-friendly!), or the whole crew—Slackers is all about inclusivity, good times, and community spirit.

Mark April 4th and get ready for beer run bliss—nothing beats earning your brew!
