Beer City Half Bishop Ranch

The Beer City Half Bishop Ranch is a beer-themed race day held at Bishop Ranch in San Ramon. It features a half marathon, 10K, 5K, a 1-mile Beer Stroll, a Beat the Beast Beer Mile, and a Lazy Friend Beer Only Pass for those who prefer the festivities without the run. This event is part of the Beer City Half Series, and this particular stop is designated as its Race of Champions, where the series' point leaders are awarded the Golden Growler. The half marathon course encircles Annabel Lake and extends along the Iron Horse Trail, offering participants a blend of Bishop Ranch pathways and East Bay trail running. The weekend also emphasizes the beer component: a pre-race gathering at Fieldwork Brewing includes live music by Radio Veloso. An afternoon festival follows, showcasing East Bay breweries, live music, and local food vendors, complemented by a Beer City Trolley service for exploring local taprooms. As Beer City's first event at Bishop Ranch, this race introduces a new San Ramon location while maintaining the series' characteristic combination of running, local craft beer, and social activities.
