How are you doing with your goals? Still staying on track?

Wolf Branch Run Club

About a year and a half ago, a few friends and I were having a discussion about how our favorite brewery did not have a run club associated with it. I mean, every good brewery has to have a run club.... runners love beer. After a few months of planning, and discussions with the awesome folks at the brewery, we finally got our first run scheduled for February 20, 2019.

 

 

Not knowing how well it would do since we're in a smaller community than some of the brewery run clubs I have seen, we decided to keep it just once a month for a bit, but I'm happy to say that since October we have extended our meets to twice a month, the first and third Wednesday of every month. We now even have stickers and shirts that our members can purchase to show off that they belong to our awesome club.











We typically have around 15 - 30 runners at each
run and every time we have at least one new

person join, and to this date we have 95 members join since we started last February. Most of our members are runners, but we do have a few walkers.... some of those walkers have even been inspired by other members to start running.

There are 4 different route options that we suggest, a 1-mile, 2-mile, 5k and 4 1/2 mile. We all meet around 6, take our group picture at 6:30 and off we go. When we're done, we all meet back at the brewery. The brewery graciously offers $1 off every runner/walker's first drink, but most stay and have at least a couple drinks just so they can enjoy the camaraderie of all the other members. We have all made so many new friends and have had the opportunity to catch up with old ones.

 
 

 As our 1 year anniversary approaches, we are hoping to plan something wonderful for our faithful members that have stuck with us and are helping us grow into a successful run club. We are looking to maybe do some giveaways, or a silent auction, some brand demonstrations, and a shoe collection for one of our local middle school cross country teams.
