From the Organizer
Join Laudenbach Brewing and Honor Bound FIT on Saturday, November 7, 2026, for the (Almost) Veteran's Day Beer Run!, a fun, slightly ridiculous, and entirely worthwhile event benefiting The Guidon Foundation.
Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or someone who only runs when there's beer waiting at the finish line, this event is for you!
HOW IT WORKS
The concept is simple: Four laps around the brewery. Four drinks. One finish line.
Participants will complete four laps around Laudenbach Brewing, drinking 8 ounces of their chosen beverage with each lap.
Choose your fuel:
Beer: For the traditionalists who appreciate the finer things in life.
Non-Alcoholic Beer: All the flavor, none of the alcohol.
Water: Because hydration is tactical, too.
Run it competitively, jog it recreationally, or just come out to cheer on your favorite participant. You don't have to drink alcohol to participate, and you certainly don't have to be a veteran!

PRIZES & BRAGGING RIGHTS
Sure, we're doing this for a great cause. But that doesn't mean we can't get a little competitive!
Each race wave will recognize its top two finishers with:
1st Place: Commemorative medal + $50 gift card
2nd Place: Commemorative medal + $25 gift card
And, of course, the unofficial prize: the right to remind your friends that you outran them after drinking beer.
MORE THAN JUST A BEER RUN
This event supports The Guidon Foundation, a veteran-focused nonprofit dedicated to ending veteran and first responder suicide, strengthening communities, and inspiring the next generation of Americans through service, leadership, and engagement.
Every registration helps advance that mission.
By participating, you're doing more than running laps around a brewery. You're supporting an organization committed to honoring those who serve, connecting people to meaningful communities, and making a lasting difference.
ALL ARE WELCOME!
Military veterans, first responders, civilians, runners, walkers, beer enthusiasts, and designated cheerleaders are all invited to join the fun.
Come celebrate the Marine Corps Birthday a little early, get a head start on Veterans Day, enjoy some friendly competition, and help us raise money for a worthy cause.
The Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard are welcome, too. We promise not to make you sing the Marines' Hymn.
Register today, pick your wave, and join us for the (Almost) Veteran's Day Beer Run!
Semper Fi. Run responsibly. Drink responsibly.
