Beer Mountain Challenge at Upward Brewing Company

🏔️ The Beer Mountain Challenge

Are you UP for the challenge?!

Set on Upward Brewing Company’s 120-acre mountain plot in the Catskill Mountains, the Beer Mountain Challenge is a trail run with two distance options for runners – 2 mile and 4 mile. Appropriately dubbed, Beer Mountain peaks at 1870 feet and is covered in a network of trails up, down and across the mountain – all located on Upward Brewing’s property! This is a super fun and technical course with lots of rocks, loose rocks, stumps, roots, uneven footing, etc -- and it will surely leave you with exhausted lungs, a beer in your hand, and a big fat smile :)

Online registration ONLY - no race day registration!
