Braden Kramer Foundation- Beer Chase 5K 2026

The Findlay Beer Chase 5K is a timed 5K in Findlay, Ohio, starting and finishing at Findlay Brewing Co. The race centers on a chase: run the 5K and try to beat the “beer” to the finish. Registration includes timing, a race shirt (while supplies last), and a pint voucher for runners 21 and older. The event also features a Super Hero Kids Dash and a volunteer 5K supporting the Braden Kramer Foundation. The course runs through the area surrounding the brewery, with East Crawford Street closed during the event. Finishers who beat the “beer” are entered into a drawing for gift cards from Dave’s Running and Findlay Brewing; the winner must be present. Race day also marks the tapping of Saazam!, a SMaSH beer brewed with local malt and hops. It has a light golden color, mild malt sweetness, balanced bitterness, and a “Wild American” hop profile. Proceeds benefit the Braden Kramer Foundation, supporting community members affected by pediatric cancer.
