Event Description
Join us for the Reserve Artisan Ales 2026 Lagtoberfest & 5k Run/Walk! This much requested race is making a return to our event that will support the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild, a nonprofit organization that represents IL craft breweries since 1997. Come take a run through historic downtown Galesburg and help us raise money that will continue to help the guild be a voice for Illinois brewers, support member and consumer education, advocate for the modernization of craft beer laws, and promote the craft beer brewed with pride across Illinois.
The race begins at 10 AM and awards will be presented to the overall male and female finishers, as well as the winners of each age category.
Sign up by September 6th to secure the low price of $40, and to guarantee your race shirt. The entry fee increases to $45 for late registration and $50 for day-of registration, with no shirt guaranteed. (T-Shirts not guaranteed for registrations received after September 6th.)
Join us after the race for our annual Lagtoberfest—a German inspired menu from our food trolley, German and German style beer from local breweries, live music from the Taproot Wranglers (12-3pm), kids coloring contest until 3:30pm, male & female stein holding and partner barrel rolling competitions at 3:30pm, and more!
