Shoes and Brews 2024

Back and Better than Ever

Back and better than ever, Shoes & Brews returns this year with bigger events, better prizes, and even more brand sponsors. Taking place monthly, Shoes & Brews is a group running event featuring demo shoes, raffles, and giveaways. Runners will take off from a brewery in test shoes, and upon finishing, be treated to discounted drinks, raffles, and free giveaways, including a free pair of shoes.

Every Shoes & Brews is completely free and open to everybody, regardless of pace, age, etc. Fleet Feet's goal with these events is to grow the Lincoln running community and make running more accessible and fun for everybody!

Local small business Kookaburra Cookies will be at most Shoes & Brews events. To preorder cookies and pick them up at the run, see their website.
