Runningman Festival 2026 brings people together for 3 full days of movement, recovery, music, learning, and connection at Kingston Downs in Rome, Georgia. The pace shifts constantly throughout the weekend. One minute you’re out on the race loop, the next might see you cooling down in the sauna village.

That mix of endurance and community shapes the Runningman experience, including brand partners on the grounds. Athletic Brewing is a seamless fit, giving folks another way to settle into the weekend’s social aspects.

Where Endurance and Community Meet

Runningman has a pretty unique rhythm. The days are active, but there’s plenty of space for slowing down too. Chase your distance goal in the morning on fresh legs, then recharge in recovery sessions, move to the music, or enjoy conversations with people who share your interests and energy.

Across the festival grounds, crowds move between:

  • Flexible race distances and endurance challenges
  • The World’s Largest Sauna or cold immersions
  • Expert panels and breakout conversations
  • Main stage performances and live music
  • Brand activations throughout the weekend

A Festival Designed for Fellowship

Runningman is a festival that attracts those who enjoy movement and wellness. Some attendees arrive with hefty race goals. Others come for the relaxing experiences, the speakers, or the vibes.

What connects everyone is the sense of openness across the weekend. People talk, connect, and spend time together in ways that feel easy and unforced.

Meet Athletic Brewing

Athletic Brewing has become one of the most recognizable names in non-alcoholic craft beer. Known for creating award-winning brews designed for active lifestyles and social moments alike.

At Runningman, that energy is a natural blend with ours. After spending long hours on the grounds, people gather around food, music, recovery spaces, and conversations that last late into the evening.

Crafted for Social Moments

Some of the best parts of Runningman happen outside the scheduled events. You finish your loop, perch near the stage, or reconnect with a mate after a recovery session.

Athletic Brewing adds to those moments with a lineup of non-alcoholic craft beers, including Run Wild IPA, Free Wave Hazy IPA, and Upside Dawn Golden.

Athletic Brewing at Runningman Festival

Runningman partnerships work best when they weave unpretentiously into the atmosphere of the grounds. Athletic Brewing supports one of the biggest parts of any festival weekend: spending unforced time together. For attendees spending the full weekend on the grounds, fun gathering spaces are intrinsic to the Runningman routine.

A Gathering Place on the Grounds

Athletic Brewing creates a relaxed space where people can grab a (non-boozy) drink, reconnect after the race, or settle in before the next event starts.

Throughout the weekend, their activation becomes a natural meeting point. They’re bridging the gap between workouts, recovery sessions, and nighttime performances.

Keeping Pace With the Weekend

It’s no surprise that Runningman days move quickly. Most people start the day with movement, shifting into wellness sessions and recovery in the afternoons, then letting the remaining energy flow into music and celebration.

Athletic Brewing is such a great part of that flow. You can keep the fun and momentum on track and enjoy the social side of the festival without compromise.
