There is a running group here that runs to craft breweries and brew pubs: runtobeer.ca Just a 5k for this one, through some parkland in Toronto, to the Prohibition Pub and a free beer. What’s not to love? was a nice break from a crazy day too. Wound up hanging with some of the older people afterwards, who all turned out to be Ultra Marathoners, having run through the Arctic and across the Grand Canyon. Crazy stories. Might try another one of these runs soon.

First Beer run done
That's such a good idea!
That sounds really interesting 😃. To meet the ultra runners too. I bet they were ready for a pint 🍺
I don’t drink ales but the whole subject interests me, possibly the balm bit which makes bread 🍞 or bottled conditioned ale to make malt loaf 😋
Yes It was interesting. A while back I went to a small cask craft beer fest and was amazed at the variety of beers and ciders the vendors had. Hundreds of options.
The ultra guys were mad! Always ready for a pint.
Ultrarunning and craft beers go together - another thing that attracts me to it
They were saying some of the ultra races have partnered with breweries to have beer trucks at the finish, because after running 50 or 100 miles that is exactly what your body needs 🙄😁
There's one next January I have set my sights on, and the start's only a short bus ride from where I live 🍻
Our local Ultra paired with a local brewery and offers up some neat craft beers post race. It's pretty awesome. Those of us that only run the 5, 10, or 20 also get a free beer (and poutine🤤).....heavenly..... Of course I only ran 5k last year so consumed A LOT more calories post race than burned 😂
After 5-6 of those I would tell any story people would like to hear.
''Yeah, man, I ran across Europe, just me and my wildebeest Carl, then swam the ocean, then ran to the same place where I started from. One energy bar, one loo stop. Yup. Hey, bartender! Another one, please!''
Sounds like cult, man. Sounds like cult.
Well done Rog !
Im not a drinker at all , but theres nowt better than a good pint of beer after a race is there ? It goes down a treat . Mine hardly touched the sides after my HM last year xxx
Brilliant! Sounds great 😊
It was! I think this idea would really fly in the UK with all the local craft breweries and running groups there.
Yes!!!!! I knew you'd do it 😆. You've got some great running groups in Toronto! I'm just a little bit jealous 😁
I just joined it the day before on a whim, not knowing quite what I was in for, but they seem like a good bunch. Not quite as tight as the Saturday Ninja crew, but still pretty cool. And did I mention the FREE beer? Of course, the next one was ten bucks but who's counting?
It's not just a run to beer, but a FREE beer?!? Score! Of course the next one would be $10, you just gotta control yourself 😆. Do you have to run home after, too? Much more than one and I wouldn't make it home (I'm a bit of a light weight in the drinking department)
Fabulous Decker ....you’re always an inspiration....now you’re an inspiration with beer! What more could a girl want?? 😉
Ha! And you were doubtful! Brilliant, I'm glad you did it, and it was fun Ouch for the price of the second beer though!
I have won £10 off the entry into a gin run the next time I'm in London. Problem is, I'm not terribly fond of gin...
