Run for Beer Relay

[TailChaser]

After a long week at work, what better way to spend an evening than to run as fast as you can, in fancy dress, for 2 miles and be rewarded with a bottle of nice, cold, locally brewed beer. That’s what myself, Katnap , Shake-and-run and Windoze did on Friday.

Our local running event company had finally started to get COVID safe events approved and this seemed the perfect excuse to get a group of us together. I’d seen the Run for Beer Relay run a couple of years ago, people dressed as snails, unicorns etc, running down one of the roads near us, and I thought: ‘I want to do that!’. Didn’t realise it would take another two years to do but hey ho.

Shakes had the great idea of dressing up as mad scientists. I borrowed some lab coats and safety specs from work, Shakes made appropriate mad scientist name badges (Dr Frankenstein, Dr Moreau etc) and I got a very, very large (joke) syringe from Amazon just to make it topical.

We were in the Mixed Team (2+2) category and we weren’t going for speed (there were some super speedy runners taking it very seriously) but we weren’t last. We had tons of fun and I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone who does or doesn’t like beer (I’ll have yours 😋😉).

What a great fun thing to do, you can have my beer 🍺

[TailChaser Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

It was WS! Best fun I’ve had since pre-COVID that’s for sure. There is one on The Running Channel (youtu.be/07BeQImqWwc)(Not working as expected?) as an example but it was much better than that. I’ll be very happy to take your beer off you 😀 Cheers 🍻 x

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Absolutely brilliant. You don’t have to be mad to be a runner, but it does help. I love fancy dress, which sometimes has UpTheStanley , Coddfish and Oldgirlruns very worried...

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

So true!

[TailChaser Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

😂 😂 nothing wrong with a bit of fancy dress Dexy! Any excuse! Cheers 🍻

[Coddfish Graduate10]

That looks a lot of fun

[TailChaser Graduate10 in reply to Coddfish]

It was brilliant Coddfish! Cheers 🍻

[TailChaser Graduate10 in reply to Dups]

Thanks Dups! Very handy working somewhere that has labs! Cheers 🍻

[Curlygurly2 Graduate10]

What fun! There used to be a wine run here a couple of years ago, you had to drink a glass of wine at the end of each mile - a whole bottle during a 10K, not sure about that!

[TailChaser Graduate10 in reply to Curlygurly2]

Woah! Not sure I could do that either! 😆

[Curlygurly2 Graduate10 in reply to TailChaser]

Ha ha, like those marathons around Bordeaux, you have to go into each vineyard, eat something like oysters, or very strong cheese, washed down with the appropriate wine...people crawl some of the distance on hands and knees...

[TailChaser Graduate10 in reply to Curlygurly2]

🤢🤢 No! That’s just 🤢🤢 and a marathon?! Madness!!! I’m not surprised they were crawling! 🤢 Give me a good old fasted run anytime.
