Last Wednesday Beer Run

The Last Wednesday of every month at 6 PM

“5 Miles to Beer Thirty” – The monthly beer run is a casual fun run/walk open to all runners and all abilities. Each month a 3 and 5 mile route is offered at a different brewery location on the last Wednesday of the month (schedule below), and at the end is a social gathering with libations and food. What could be a better way to end the month?

All of our beer runs are open to all runners and walkers. Run Wild Missoula membership is not required, but non members are required to sign a waiver prior to the start. Join Run Wild Missoula.

Our Next Beer Run

Wednesday, September 30th: Cranky Sam Brewing

233 W Main St, 6:00 PM

Come to Cranky Sam Brewing for our September beer run. Cranky Sam has several of their own craft beers plus a large selection of top craft beers from around the world. They also have wine, a full bar, and a huge selection of non-alcoholic beverages. Plus they have a great menu and tasty food! We’ll be meeting for the start on the outdoor patio on the Front Street side of the brewery. An approximate 3 and 5 mile course will be offered.

The run is free for members and non-members, though non members are required to sign a waiver prior to the start. To avoid that, please consider joining. It’s a great value at only $27/year for an individual membership or just $37/year for an entire family. Join Run Wild Missoula.

Meet the Beer Run Program Leader, Dana!

Dana Bandy has been a cornerstone of Missoula’s running community for more than 17 years. A lifelong endurance athlete, Dana transitioned from competitive cycling to ultrarunning, completing more than 50 ultramarathons before returning to his cycling roots after a knee injury. His passion for the sport extends far beyond racing—he serves as the Registration Director for The Rut Mountain Runs, volunteers at nearly every race in Missoula, and has been a dedicated leader with Run Wild Missoula for years.

As the leader of our monthly Beer Run, Dana believes running is about much more than logging miles—it’s about building community. Whether you’re joining for your first social run or you’re a seasoned runner, Dana creates a welcoming atmosphere where everyone can enjoy a few miles, meet new people, and celebrate with a post-run beverage. His philosophy is simple: stay active, keep showing up, and have fun along the way.
