Race Information

Join Texas's oldest craft brewery, Saint Arnold Brewing Company, and celebrate The Art Car IPA 5k! So get funky, get creative, and show everyone your artistic talent, and party and revel in the art of running and drinking beer! Race registration includes a sweet, gender-specific shirt, finisher medals, a finisher glass, Saint Arnold brews to fill it with, and a breakfast burrito!

Saint Arnoldโ€™s Art Car IPA debuted in August 2015 and was inspired by a fleet of hand-painted Art Cars created by local artists for the brewery. The label artwork was designed by renowned Houston graffiti artist GONZO247, who has painted four Saint Arnold Art Cars. This hip-hop-inspired artist perfectly created a brand worthy of a run that will have you running, sipping, and then getting groovy on the dance floor (that means running party!)
