Running is fun. Running with people is more fun. Enjoying post-run refreshments is possibly the most fun! Big River Running is all about fun and is excited to partner with local breweries and pubs to host free group runs where runners, walkers and beer lovers can come together to enjoy a little exercise, great food and drink and camaraderie.

Please RSVP for this free run HERE.

Hoka One One will be joining us as our special guest, so be sure to arrive early to get your size so you can test outa pair of Hokas on the run! Our friends from Amphipod will also be there so you can check out the great hydration and storage products we carry. Athletico will also be on-site offering free injury advice and post-run stretching!
