The demand for Running for Brews on Thursday nights (at World of Beer) was so high that another night was added to the South Tampa team.
Now runners can join the running group on Tuesday nights starting and ending at MacDinton’s.
The social running group meets at Mac’s at 7 pm before enjoying a beautiful route around Historic Hyde Park and then a multitude of drink specials provided by Macdintons.
Thursday meet-ups at World of Beer (7 pm) are still on.
More About Running for Brews:
Everyone could use a little motivation when it comes to finding the energy to get out and exercise. And what motivation is better than beer and friends?
One South Tampa meet up group has found a way to merge healthy living, good drinking and great conversation with their running/craft beer club – Running for Brews. It is the perfect activity for all of those who enjoy getting out and breaking a sweat amongst the company of other fellow runners, and then topping it off with an awesome craft brew.
Worried about Running… Or Drinking
As for beer and running, the club always recommends consuming water and carbs before consuming beer, but the craft beer and running go hand in hand because of the malt and hops. These ingredients contain heart-healthy compounds and vitamins that aid in converting carbohydrates to energy. Also, the craft beers at World of Beer South Tampa act as tremendous reward after a great run.
And don’t worry if you are a beginner runner… or walker. Running for Brews invites athletes of all shapes, sizes and speeds. While most of the group participates in the designated 5k loop, everyone is welcome to participate at their distance and speed of choice. No one will ever be scrutinized for their running ability.
The first Running for Brews originated at the World of Beer in Westchase by Kevin Bupp who wanted to find a way to help connect fitness minded people who love great craft beers.
The club has spread to Dunedin, St. Petersburg, Brandon, and now South Tampa.
