Calling all beer aficionados... combine your two great loves - beer and running at the Tempo Run For Beer Relay which is all set for a 21 June race date in 2024. Organisers are keen to ensure this year's event generates plenty of interest after being unable to hold the event in 2023, they said: "Last year we had to cancel the event because not enough teams had booked in for it early enough. We really don’t want to have to do the same thing again this year."

The concept is simple - a fun social drinking/running event where you run and then you drink! Participants will complete a two-mile run each in teams of four on a route around the beautiful Recreation Ground in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Organisers told us: "We’ve moved the day of the week back to a Friday so you can come and celebrate the end of the week by running flat out for 2 miles in a weird costume and then drink beer afterwards. It’s a bit like going to Alexandra Palace but without the darts!

"So, start collating your team together. Who do you want in your team?  Who’s the best runner and who can hold their liquor? Runners under 18 can still race but they will receive soft drinks. If beer isn’t your thing then there will be Prosecco available too."

Every runner receives a free bottle of beer on completing their 2-mile leg and a licensed bar will be open all evening so you can continue to 'hydrate' after your exertions. This is a really fun event and whilst there will be a few running club teams battling it out at the front there will also be prizes for best fancy dress, fastest pub team and several others.
