Shorewood HUGS is a nonprofit women's organization that works to make a positive impact in the lives of those in the community & surrounding communities, one hug at a time. We do this by hosting unique events & raising funds to fulfill wishes for those in need. We also fund several HUGS scholarships and support other local, non-profit organizations whenever possible. Founded in 2008 by 5 moms that wanted to give back to their community, we have grown into an organization of 50 women with a passion for helping others. As we approach the fall of 2021, we are preparing to fulfill our 1,000th wish! Wish recipients live within a 20-mile radius of Shorewood and are in need, disabled or deemed worthy of a wish. We have been very fortunate to have the support of our community during the past 13 years which has made our mission possible.

Absolutely!  We have been getting many inquiries about virtual participation and have integrated a virtual option into our regular registration.

Please feel free to register through the regular registration link above and you can either: 

1) Pick up packet during packet pickup or on the day of the race, but run on your own (hint: any beer tickets are still good if you use this strategy)

2) Contact us at any time to switch to the Brew Run Virtual Race and we'll ship your packet (There will be a shipping and handling charge for this option per person)

Also, if you intend on running, but later change your mind and would like to do either of these options, that's ok too!  If you are definitely going to have us ship your packet and run virtually though, we do recommend you follow the instructions below:

1). Go to runsignup.com/profile and log into your account.

2). Click on "Manage Registration" next to this race.

3). On the next page click on transfer to another race and choose the Brew Run Virtual Race.
