Hundreds take part in high-energy 10th annual Penticton Beer Run
More than 400 participants joined the 10th annual 7.5-kilometre course, and partial registration proceeds will support youth outdoor recreation programs.
On Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026, more than 400 participants gathered for the 10th annual Penticton Beer Run, an event prioritizing team enjoyment over competitive speed.
The 7.5-kilometre course featured 15 stops across downtown Penticton, including Cannery Brewing, with organizer Lyndie Hill noting that proceeds support local youth outdoor recreation programs.
Dozens of teams donned creative costumes to navigate the route, gathering afterward at Okanagan Lake Park for a post-race celebration featuring live music and food trucks.
The run was one of several happenings on a busy Saturday in Penticton, as residents also flocked to Carmi Avenue to catch the Harvest Championship at the Penticton Speedway.
Sports action continues later today as The Penticton Vees host the Tri-City Americans at the South Okanagan Events Centre, with the game scheduled for 6 p.m.
