Announcing the 2024 Run at Ribfest breweries!

You know the Downtown Kitchener Ribfest & Craft Beer Show for many things: great times, great people, and an extraordinary selection of breweries to sample. (Did we mention ribs!?) But only five are invited each year to the Run At Ribfest!

Yes, this is the race that STARTS with a cheers – drink in hand – then continues on four laps of Victoria Park (Roos Island included!) with another sample after each one. The on-course water station is a low key highlight of the event!

After you finish your 5k, you join the rest of the runners in the VIP tent! Shade, seats, no lines, food delivery? It’s the place to be on July 21.

And now to the breweries! Last year we included some non-beer options and they were a hit. So included on-course for 2024 are three craft breweries, one vodka soda, and one caesar!

See you at Run at Ribfest! Curious what the event feels like? Check out this album from last year. You’ll see runners having fun, not taking it too seriously, smiles, cheers, loops through Victoria Park, the intoxicating atmosphere of the commons during Ribfest, and some shots (but not too many!) from the VIP tent.
