From the Organizer
You have two ways to hit the pavement with us this summer:
Option 1: The Full Series Pass (Best Value!) Commit to the whole journey and save! By selecting the Series Bundle, you lock in your entry for all four stops (Axtell, Minden, Hastings, and the Holdrege Finale).
The Perks: You'll save $40 on registration fees, receive the official Series Shirt, and unlock the exclusive 6/34 Finisher Medal at the final stop.
Option 2: Single Race Entry Can't make them all? No problem. You can sign up for this individual race (and any of the others!) as a standalone event. You’ll still get the town-specific Enamel Pin and a post-race pour for every finish line you cross.

Part of the Tap to Tap: 6/34 Highway Series
Keep the Momentum Rolling. We’re heading east to Hastings for the third stop of the summer! First Street Brewing is hosting us for an August run that’s all about rhythm, regional pride, and refreshing pints.
🏃♂️ The Run
The Hastings leg takes you from the taproom to the bike trail, up towards the college then back for a pint. It’s a flat, paved route designed for speed—perfect for individuals looking to earn their third Highway Passport stamp. Cross the finish line and claim your First Street Hastings Enamel Pin.
🍺 The Reward
1st Street Brewing is known for craft, culture, and community. After you finish, the party kicks off in the taproom and out on the patio or beer garden and enjoy some local fare from the food truck!
