Hoppy Half Marathon, Relay, 10k & 5k

The Hoppy Half Marathon, Relay, 10k & 5k starts and finishes at Stone Hollow Brewery on Court Street in Beatrice, Nebraska. Races begin at 8:00 AM, and the event pairs a half marathon with shorter race options, including a relay format for teams. The course is out and back on the flat Chief Standing Bear Trail, using a mix of crushed limestone, pavement, and concrete. Half marathoners can run solo or split the distance across a 2- or 3-person relay team, while the 5k is open to runners and walkers. Leashed dogs are welcome, the race raises money for the Chief Standing Bear Trail, and the brewery’s Oktoberfest follows with food vendors, live music, and a stein contest.
