The 0.5K Beer Run is a fun, half-kilometer "race" hosted by the New Braunfels Jaycees. It's a lighthearted event that combines a very short run/walk with beer, entertainment, and community spirit—all while raising money for local nonprofits. Think of it as the perfect excuse to enjoy some exercise, great beer, and community fun without the commitment of a full 5K!

The 11th Annual 0.5K Beer Run will be held on March 7, 2026 at Wurstfest located at 120 Landa Street, New Braunfels, Texas 78130. 
Do I have to be a runner to participate?
Not at all! The 0.5K is designed for everyone, regardless of fitness level. You can run, walk, skip, or dance your way through the course. It's all about having fun and supporting the community. Many participants choose to stroll the course with friends while enjoying the festive atmosphere!
Is this event family-friendly?
