STAY TUNED FOR 2022 PLANS

2020 Skagit Beer Run COVID-19 Update

To proactively slow the spread of the COVID-19, Skagit Valley College along with the support of the Port of Skagit has made the difficult decision to postpone the March 28th, 2020 Skagit Beer Run.

We appreciate the excitement of those of you who registered for Skagit Beer Run, however the safety and well-being of our local community comes first. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to announcing a new date soon!

At this time, we are not issuing refunds in the hopes that we find a new date that is acceptable.  Once the new date is announced, if you are not able to attend refund options will be made available.

We will continue to update you as information becomes available.  For now, keep running and stay healthy!
