“Last year’s event was so successful and fulfilling for many reasons,” said Jordan Brett from Steel & Oak in a release. “Above all, it embodied the spirit of the city with the local community uniting to create special memories, celebrate one another, and support a valuable local charity.
“Steel & Oak is grateful to host an event in such a vibrant community and we can’t wait to share another joyous day with everyone.”
Hundreds of runners and walkers are expected for this year’s Steel & Oak Beer Run. All ages and abilities are welcome to take in the scenic 5 km route around Queen’s Park while helping to top last year’s fundraising total of over $2,000 raised for KidSport New West.
The run starts at 11 am and takes participants through forested areas of the park with panoramic views of the mountains in the distance. A dedicated cheer section will help boost your energy when you make the ascent up a short steep hill.
All participants will receive a finisher’s medal, a bib, a timing chip, and an exclusive grab bag. There will also be refreshments and a snack waiting for you at the finish line.
The party doesn’t stop there as Steel & Oak will be hosting a lively beer garden from 11 am to 3 pm. The beer garden is open to finishers, supporters, and onlookers, and will serve a variety of Steel & Oak beers and soft drinks. A food truck will also be on-site.
