5K Pub Run | BWW Fringe

What you're in for

Attention runners who drink — and drinkers who run.

The 5K Pub Run is exactly what it sounds like: a social run through Belfast with five pub stops, five pours, and a few challenges along the way. It's 5.5km all in, it's absolutely not a race, and no PBs are required — just a great night out with a little running in between.

It runs twice — Friday 24 July to open the festival and Friday 31 July to see it out — with a different route each night. Pick your Friday, or do the double.
