Join us for the 4th Annual Newburgh Draught Day 5 Mile, the Hudson Valley's best beer run!  It's also a terrific community event that celebrates Newburgh, a proud, resurging Hudson River city.


Staged in the heart of Newburgh, this race is one you'll want to be a part of year in and year out! Besides having a great run though a historic city (and part of its scenic suburbs), you’ll share an afternoon with fellow runners on the banks of the Hudson River enjoying Newburgh Brewing Company's fantastic craft beer, and a terrific post-race party, all while taking in the stunning views of the river and the Beacon mountains beyond it.
