This event is ideal for runners who love a unique race experience, appreciate a good post-race celebration, and enjoy supporting local traditions. It's perfect for those seeking a fun 5k without intense pressure, and who enjoy a brewery setting.

Race day (AI-assisted text)

Expect a bustling race morning with runners gathering at the brewery for the 9 AM start. The energy will be high, leading into a fantastic post-race block party that runs until 1 PM. Vendors will be set up, adding to the festive feel, having prepared their spaces the day before or early on race morning. It's less about competitive pacing and more about enjoying the unique setting and the camaraderie.

The Yuengling Light Lager Jogger 5k has a friendly, celebratory, and distinctly local personality. It's a social event that blends running with community spirit and the enjoyment of America's oldest brewery. The overall tone is lighthearted and welcoming, making it a memorable experience for all.

Weather snapshot (AI-assisted text)

Taking place in Pottsville, PA in mid-April, you can expect variable spring weather. Temperatures could range from cool and crisp to mild and pleasant. There's always a possibility of rain, so preparing for various conditions, including bringing layers, would be a good idea.

Terrain & course feel (AI-assisted text)

Given the race starts and finishes at a brewery in a town, the course is highly likely to be on paved roads or urban paths. While specific elevation isn't mentioned, a 5k in this setting typically features a relatively flat profile with perhaps some gentle inclines common in a town environment.

We are thrilled to announce the 14th annual Yuengling Light Lager Jogger 5k! The race will take place on Saturday, April 18, 2026. Join us for the only race that starts and finishes at America's oldest brewery!  The race will kick off at 9am and the post-race block party will wrap up at 1pm.

The deadline to apply for a vendor space is March 1, 2026. We recommend applying early as spaces to fill quickly. The vendor registration will be capped at 50 due to available space. 

Due to the overwhelming increase in vendor requests and limited space, we have moved to an application process. We will notify all applicants of whether or not they are approved on a rolling basis.

*Note: priority will be given to Schuylkill County-based businesses and returning vendors.  There is a fee for participation for non Schuylkill County-based businesses. 

All vendors will receive the following perks in addition to your space on race day:

-Logo, website, and social media links featured on the official Yuengling Light Lager Jogger 5k website (lagerjogger.com)
-Free virtual race bag advertisement or coupon inclusion that will go out to all 3,500 runners during race week!
-Special shout-out on the Yuengling Light Lager Jogger 5k social media pages (Facebook & Twitter)

The Fine Print: All accepted vendors will be required to setup their space on Friday, April 17 between the hours of 2:00pm - 7:00pm.  Limited set-up will be available on race day, Saturday, April 18, prior to race kick-off.  Vendors are required to setup under a 10x10 tent in case we experience inclement weather. You will be responsible for supplying your own tents, tables, chairs and other necessary items.  If you need help securing these items, CK Running, LLC can order them for you for an additional fee. Since the location of your vendor space cannot be guaranteed, we recommend arriving early to setup on April 17. All locations are subject to Race Director approval.

Thank you for your support of this great event. We look forward to seeing you on race day!
