More Than Just a Group Run

Beer & River Run has met every Thursday since August 2017.

Rain or shine, runners and walkers of all abilities gather along Sacramento's beautiful American River Parkway for a 60-minute run.

Meet at 6:00 PM. We start at 6:15 PM.

Some people run six miles. Others run three. Some walk.

Everyone belongs.

Afterward, we pull out our picnic chairs, enjoy a beverage and a snack, and spend a little time catching up...and lying about how great we are. BYOB.

One of the easiest ways to train more consistently is to train with other people.

60 Minutes

Run, jog, or walk at your own pace.

All Paces Welcome

Whether it's your first run or your hundredth, you'll fit right in.

Hang Out After

BYOB, Many of us gather for 15-30 minutes after the run to cool down with our preferred beverage and snack.

Train More Consistently

One of the easiest ways to train more consistently is to have people expecting to see you every Thursday.
