It is customary for races to take over the streets of Barcelona, with sporting events that fill the streets with runners every year, but few have the festive spirit of the one that will arrive this fall at the Parc del Fòrum. On October 26, the city will host a race that goes far beyond adding kilometers to your running shoes.
This is the Beer Runners, a popular event that is already held in other cities such as Madrid, Zaragoza or Malaga and lands for the first time in Barcelona after five years of absence. A proposal that claims the sport as an excuse to create community and where you run for a very special prize.d
The route and how to sign up
The fun of this race is that, unlike all the others, the prize is not an isotonic drink or a medal, but beer and food. So much better.
The start will be at 11 am from the Parc del Fòrum and each participant can choose between a circuit of 5 or 10 kilometers (one or two laps of the course).
When crossing the finish line, runners will receive their particular reward: two beers and two tapas to regain strength and toast with the rest of the participants. A way to celebrate that running does not have to be a solitary challenge, but a perfect excuse to socialize and enjoy in community.
To register you only need to be of legal age and register on the official website before October 22, although it is advisable not to sleep: there are a maximum of 3,000 bibs available.
