The Northside Beer Run Returns! (And You Don’t Have To Run)

Written By: The Gnarly Gnome

We’re just a couple of weeks away from this year’s Northside Beer Run (as of writing this post – it’s on 4/13/25 at 10:30 a.m.), and I wanted to submit a PSA for all of you who, like me, don’t like to mix running with your drinking hobbies. In fact – I’ll go a step further – the only time I like to run is when a bear is chasing me, maybe a crocodile or an irate koala bear. I’ll even possibly do a little jog if I’m trying to get to the bar before the last call, at my favorite bar. I’m not running as some “hobby,” though.

Good news… You don’t actually have to run at the Northside Beer “Run”. It’s a little-known secret about the event. You can walk, you can stroll, you can probably even shimmy your way through the course.

What IS It?

The amazing folks over at Higher Gravity sum up their annual Northside Beer Run as a roughly four-mile social run & WALK through their neighborhood of Northside. It’s more about the camaraderie and the fun of hanging out in Northside than it is some sort of exercise.

Your leisurely stroll starts out at Higher Gravity before heading down the street to Urban Artifact, up to The Comet, and back down to Higher Gravity. Along this trip through the neighborhood, you’ll get a beer at each stop, four total.

When you wrap up, you’ll also get a sweet custom medal to show the world that you’re a champion.

Get Signed Up!

Don’t forget to get yourself signed up! You can get your ticket online (and share the link with your friends so you’re not hanging out alone, too.)
