Founded in 2018 by Mel Mannion and Joanna Brophy, Galway Bay Brewery Running Club (GBBRC ) has become a real institution in a short space of time.
"We run monthly on the second Sunday from the Salt House, and last Monday from the Oslo Bar," says Mel Mannion, who co-founded GBBRC with her friend Joanna Brophy. "We have a great core group of regulars and we're seeing a lot of new faces at each run now since we've been able to get back to it post-pandemic which is really wonderful to see!"
A beer club with a running problem, the Galway Bay Brewery Running Club is perfect for people who like socialising when red-faced, sweaty, and short of breath.
They run on the Second Sunday of the month from the Salt House at 12:30pm, and on the last Monday of the month from the Oslo Bar, 7pm. The next run is scheduled for this Sunday, 12 November at 12.30pm. Enjoy the exercise and then grab a free Galway Bay Brewery beer of your choice straight after.
All levels of runner are welcome - but bear in mind you may be running solo as everyone is encouraged to run a pace comfortable to them. The group heads out together and then reconvenes at the pub to continue socialising after. It is not a competitive group so don't feel intimidated!
