From the Organizer
🚒🍺 Staplehurst Volunteer Fire Department
5K Beer Costume Run
October 31 • 7:30 AM • Staplehurst, Nebraska
Forget serious races. This one is about costumes, laughs, community, and just enough bad decisions to make great stories.
Join us Halloween morning in front of the Staplehurst Volunteer Fire Department for the most ridiculous 5K in southeast Nebraska.
Here’s how it works:
Starting gun goes off 🔥
Drink your first beer 🍺
Run to the turnaround point
Drink your second beer 🍺
Run back toward town
Drink your final beer before crossing the finish line 🍺
Come dressed in your funniest, weirdest, or most over-the-top costume. Whether you show up as Bigfoot, a banana, a cowboy, or your buddy dressed as a hotdog… you’ll fit right in.
Not a beer drinker? Under 21?
No problem. We’ll have carbonated waters available so everyone can join the fun.
Expect:
Costumes
Laughs
Small-town chaos
Questionable running strategy
Great memories
A morning supporting your local fire department ❤️
Whether you’re racing to win or just trying to survive three beers before breakfast, this is the kind of event people talk about all year.
