The sip-and-do-anything trend has made its way into Tucson's running community. That's right. You can now turn your run time into party time.Β
The concept is simple, yet genius: Meet up with friends, go for a run, walk or jog and have a few drinks after. Sounds like our kind of incentive.Β
Whether you're already a runner or are looking for a good reason to get out and try it, these three events are a good place to start.
Happy Hour Hobble
Southern Arizona Roadrunners hosts this free social run. The group meets up, runs 3-4 miles together and then hangs out with drinks and food after. You don't need to be a member of SAR and you're welcome to attend no matter what your running pace is. Even if you'd rather walk. The next one is Saturday, March 16, 5:30 p.m. at Tap & Bottle Downtown, 403 N. Sixth Ave.Β
This is a reoccurring event. Check here for updates.Β
