2026 Chasing Pints Running Series

The Chasing Pints Running Series connects brewery races throughout Western North Carolina, featuring stops in Asheville, Hendersonville, Nebo, and Brevard. The series focuses on short, accessible road races with some distance variations, allowing participants to choose individual events or follow the circuit from one brewery to another. An example is the Summer Session in Hendersonville. The 5K begins and ends at Trailside Brewing at Lennox Station, with the 10K commencing soon after the 5K concludes. Entry covers a race shirt and medal. Participants aged 21 and over receive a post-race beer upon presenting valid identification. Series participants can register as a Six Pack or Partial Pack Runner for reduced fees and distinct awards. Finishing a sufficient number of brewery events can result in a custom beer stein.
