5k Beer Run + Charles Towne Fermentory

5k Beer Run + Charles Towne Fermentory is held in Charleston, South Carolina, on December 12, 2026. There is one format, a 5K of 3.1 miles, based at the Charles Towne Fermentory. Pairing a short run with a brewery makes the emphasis clear: this is a social event first, and the 3.1-mile distance is chosen because almost anyone can cover it, running or walking.

You need very little specific preparation. If you run regularly, treat it as an easy or steady effort rather than a race. If you do not, a month of run-walk sessions three times a week is enough to have you finishing comfortably. Charleston in December is mild, so a light long-sleeve layer usually covers it. One practical note: whatever you drink afterward, get some water in first, since rehydrating properly after even a short effort matters more than most runners think.
