About the event

On Saturday, May 1, 2027, Perth hosts an exhilarating and unique race that blends camaraderie with competition. The Beer Run Challenge invites teams of police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and military members to pit their skills against one another in a spirited contest. Each team consists of four runners who will complete four laps around a 1.25K loop while enjoying a taste of Bridge Masters' finest beer at each checkpoint.
The race begins promptly at 3:00 PM with bib pick-up starting two hours earlier, ensuring participants have plenty of time to prepare for the event. The course is designed to test both endurance and agility as runners transition seamlessly between drinking and running segments. With a capacity limit of just 160 runners—40 from each team—the atmosphere promises to be lively and competitive.
Upon crossing the finish line, racers will receive not only their well-deserved sweet medal but also access to an exciting post-race party complete with live entertainment. The event features awards for overall fastest teams as well as individual top male and female finishers within each category. Whether you're a first responder or simply a supporter of these brave professionals, this race offers an unforgettable blend of fun and fitness.
Registration is highly recommended early to secure your spot in what promises to be one of Perth's most memorable events of the year.
