Beers & Bagels

ABOUT THE EVENT:

Started in 2021 The Beers & Bagels Fun Run is a run from the popular Jacks Bagels Summerstrand to the relaxed, scenic Ziggy's Rock and Reggae bar at Pine Lodge.

Now, in 2025, we have made Beers & Bagels Fun Run into a 2-PART SERIES!

Part 1 - Walmer: Jacks Bagels Walmer to Tapas Bar and Restaurant | 5km ONLY

Part 2 - Summerstrand: Jacks Bagels Summerstrand to Ziggy's Rock and Reggae Bar | 5km OR 9km

This fun run is aimed at everyone, whether you sprint, run or walk all that matters is that you have a good time! And it is a pretty good excuse to eat a bagel and drink a beer.

It is the withdrawing athlete's responsibility to find a suitable replacement for their entry and such replacement is required to register online (before close of entries) in the applicable race category in order to be eligible for entry.
