Hops for Hope 5K & BrewFest Presented by 93 Octane Brewery 2026

Get ready to lace up and raise a glass for "Hops for Hope," the event where a BEER 5K meets St. Charles' very own BREWFEST! This isn't just any 5K—recently named one of America's Top 100 Races by BibRave, our certified and timed course cheers you on with scenic views and rewarding beer stops along the way. Starting at the picturesque Mount Saint Mary Park, you can run, jog, or walk along the scenic path, sipping on craft brew samples from local breweries at six different Beer Stops.

Celebrate crossing the finish line at the BrewFest, where the fun continues with 18 beer samples, rockin' live bands, delicious food offerings, and a raffle that could have you towering above a "Mountain of Beer." All the merriment supports Project Mobility's noble cause, helping bring the joy of adaptive cycling to those with disabilities. So join us, have an epic day, and be a part of our mission to change lives—one pint and pedal at a time!
