Birch’s on the Lake | 2025 MN Brewery Running Series

Founded in Minnesota in 2012, the series organizes 5K and 10K fun runs that start and end at local breweries. With events now in 26 states, the series encourages people of all fitness levels to get active, connect with others, and enjoy a well-earned craft beverage—all while supporting local nonprofits.

Birch’s is a long-time partner of the Brewery Running Series and a powerful success story. Owner Brennan Greene hosted his first run there in 2019, which kickstarted a personal fitness journey that led to a 50-pound weight loss and a deeper connection with the community. Birch’s continues to welcome runners, walkers, and beer lovers alike to enjoy its lakeside setting and supportive atmosphere.
