2026 Iowa Brewery Running Series Kick Off Party
March 22, 2026 - 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm at Firetrucker Brewery
716 Southwest 3rd Street Ankeny, Iowa
We run for beer and we’re kicking off the 2026 Iowa Brewery Running Series® with YOU!
Join us for an open house style event where you’ll score the best registration deals of the season. Enjoy a brew from Firetrucker Brewery and celebrate the start of another year of running, Iowa beer, and giving back.
Plus NEW this year – optional participant-led 2 mile dash prior to the event at 1:30PM. Main event will run from 2 – 4PM.
This dash is optional, free, participant-led, and not part of our regular 2026 Iowa Brewery Running Series schedule. It’s just a good way to meet other fellow Iowa Brewery Running Series runners! Don’t want to run? No worries, come for the main event between 2 – 4.
