Bye bye Pedlar for 2020 and hello RUC Turner
From 15 September we are at the RUC Turner for our flat 5km course until at least 6 October.
And note your diaries for Sunday 18 October for the inaugural Pub2Pub, our version of City2Surf.
This 15km social run will be untimed and take in not one or two, but FIVE Pub Run venues.
We are still at Pedlar until 1 September.
Join us at 5:45pm for a run and then 6:30pm for pub.
We are still deciding on where we will be from 8 September. Front runners are the Canberra Club in Barton and the Mercure (Olims) in Ainslie
Pub Run goes Virtual!
With limitations on the number of people who can be out together We have started the Virtual Pub Run. At 5:45pm every Tuesday please time your 5km run and send the information to Coach Potty either via text, email or WhatsApp. You will be able to continue to track your progress while still being connected with the Pub Run community here in Canberra and around the country!
From Tuesday 29 October we are back at The Dock, Kingston Foreshore
After a long break we return to The Dock in Kingston. For the new Pubbers this is a flat, fast out and back course with some zig-zags to keep you on your toes. We will most likely skip 5 November as this is Melbourne Cup Day, then continue at the The Dock until the Christmas Relays.
New Mercure course from old Olims Hotel
A new out and back course has been created from the Mercure/Olims Hotel which we will be doing for the next month.
Back to Pedlar Bar/Cafe for Autumn/Winter
Pedlar is our favourite venue for the darker, colder months. The course is relatively well lit, flat and scenic with no road crossings. Pedlar is welcoming, very well lit and toasty warm inside. We have our regular table booked from 6:30pm every week so even if a Pub Run is rained out, dinner is still an option.
The sad end of the Wig & Pen course
Cheers, Coach Potty
Pub Runners heading to Wig & Pen
Hi Folks, we have 1 more week at Pedlar then we are moving on to an exciting new course from Wig & Pen. Join us there at 5:40 from 18 September! and remember to come and enjoy a last hurrah at Pedlar this coming Tuesday.
We are back at toasty warm Pedlar for the duration of winter
From 15 May we have a booking for our favourite table near the kitchen from 6:30pm to warm up with eats and ales.
Coach Potty is away for 3 weeks but the Pub Run will be managed by the very capable Assistant Coach Salty.
From 2 April we are back at the Canberra Club in Barton for the next 6 weeks
Last Tuesday was the final run from the Dock at Kingston Foreshore. After daylight savings we move to better lit course starting with the Canberra Club which takes in the parliamentary triangle followed by our winter venue Pedlar in Campbell.
Return to Edgar's course 9 January
The Pub Runners return to the spiritual home at Edgar's at Ainslie Shops. It was mid January 2012 when the Prez Julia and Coach Potty were joined by half a dozen runners. Tuesday 16 January will be our celebration night with a slight variation on the Pub Run format. Hope to see past, present and newbie runners then!
Time to move venue again
30 May was the last time at the Canberra Club for 2017. Our next venue is the Pedlar in Campbell at 65 Constitution Ave starting 6 June. The course is out and back over King's Ave Bridge. Lots of colourful lights on this course and Pedlar has a nice vibe.
Pub Run venue for a few more weeks
We will stay at the Canberra Club in Barton for a few more weeks then I propose we move to the Pedlar course for a better lit route.
Venue change from ANU to Canberra Club
Last Tuesday 11 April we finished up at the ANU and next Tuesday 18 April will be at the Canberra Club in Braddon, a 5.2km route that takes in Parliament House. Canberra Club (Barton location) is closed ANZAC Day so watch this space for a random Pub Run location. Coach Potty will notify all who subscribe to MailChimp. Have a great Easter break!
