Event Overview
The Bridge Road Brewers Beechworth Beer Run is held on Saturday 3 October 2026 in Beechworth, Victoria, with event activity centred on Lake Sambell. The program offers a 30km point-to-point run starting at Yackandandah, plus 15km, 5km and 2.5km options that start and finish at Lake Sambell. Bib collection is listed for Friday at Bridge Road Brewers and again on event morning at Lake Sambell.
What the Course Demands
Across the longer distances, the course includes substantial climbing, with the 30km listed at 950m ascent and the 15km at 600m. The 5km and 2.5km are shorter but still include some elevation. Aid points are provided on course by distance, and the event is described as cup-free, so athletes need to carry their own drinking receptacle. Cut-off checkpoints apply for the 30km and 15km.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners looking for a scenic, undulating long run effort in the 15km or 30km, where pacing and climbing ability matter. The 5km provides a shorter option with a later start time, while the 2.5km is positioned as a kids run with its own on-course cordial point and no cut-off. It can work well for mixed-ability groups entering different distances.
