Register now for a fun 5k on Friday, October 2, 2026 at 6pm. All of the proceeds will be donated to Pink Warrior House. The mission of the Pink Warrior House is to create a community which supports those battling breast cancer, and their caregiver(s), with emotional and social services to foster hope and a positive outcomes.
With your 5k and 1 mile registration you will receive a pink shirt and a pint of pink beer of your choice after the 5k (kids registration doesn't include a shirt). The race will start and finish at the Canteen Brewhouse (2381 Aztec Rd NE).
The 5k course is out and back along the North Diversion Channel Trail. We will have an aid station at the halfway point. Professional timing will be provided by Feral Adventures. We will have root beer available for participants under 21 and non-beer drinkers. We will be holding a raffle post-race open to all finishers in lieu of top finisher awards. Your bib number is your raffle number, so stick around to see if you won a fun prize! Additional raffle tickets can be purchased the day of the run and all proceeds will go to Pink Warrior House. Join us in the beer garden before and after the race.
Additional beer and food will be available for purchase in the brewery. Plus, during the month of October, Canteen and Steel Bender will donate $1 per pint of their designated charity beer to Pink Warrior House. Sip a pink pint of Canteen Brewhouse or Steel Bender beer, while helping our local warriors battle breast cancer. A fun way to kick off the Balloon Fiesta weekend in Albuquerque and support a great cause.
