By special request we are keeping the .5K Beer run and .5K kids run. We are excited to be doing this again and hope you are too.
By now we would hope everyone knows what Beard vs Beans is, and if not, here’s a little bit about us!
Sibling rivalry is something that everyone with a brother or sister is familiar with. My younger brother (Matthew aka Beard) and I (Miguel aka Beans) definitely know a thing or two about it. Together, we decided to put our competitive efforts toward a cause for a disease that has affected our family, Alzheimer’s!! Even in hard times our family has always been light hearted and fun, so with that, we compete to see which brother can raise the most money in donations for the Alzheimer’s Association of San Antonio and South Texas. The Loser faces a punishment. We currently sit at a 4 to 2 lead by Team Beans (Miguel). In our continued efforts to help ENDALZ we bring you Run to Remember 5K/10K with Beard vs Beans.
All 5K/10K finishers will receive medals and a pretty amazing shirt. The participants who want to partake in the .5K Beer Run will receive a beer mug and the winner will receive an award. You can chose to do the 0.5K Beer Run post 5K/10K and get all the swag. The Kids .5K will receive a medal and Shirt can be purchased separately. Come join us and have a great time with our family, run family and sponsors. As always. ALL proceeds will benefit the Alzheimer Association of San Antonio and South Texas.
Don’t forget to create your team! The team with the most registered participants will earn their team name on the Race Day shirts.

The most frustrating lack of info prior to the race is the starting time! It wasn’t revealed until a few days left. The course set up is okay, but there’s no cyclist leading the runners. I hate the fact that it’s run on concrete sidewalk which is mostly flat but not true 5K (just a bit short). Miles 2 and 3 are out and back, and obviously, water aid station must be on the right side. But at the critical juncture, it’s placed on the………..left side (!). That means the incoming runners are getting water to the left and the outgoing runners are being blocked from reaching the end of the course. They said the awards ceremony would be at 8:30 AM. It took a long while to get that started (began after 9 AM). The awards are cheap with no difference among overall winner, masters winner, and age group winner. All in all, I don’t plan to come back again.
