Welcome Rockford beer runners to the new Olympic Running Club!
Formerly known as Mikkeller Running Club, this is somewhere around our 66th run! Join us on Saturday Jan 8 (we are closed Jan 1 for New Year’s Day!) at 12:30 — as always, we will assemble at The Olympic Tavern (doors open at noon) and there will be THREE routes to choose from. Afterwards, we will convene back at The Olympic — all runners get half off any appetizer on our menu!
This is a very low key, non-competitive fun/beer run, so please, bring a friend. There is NO fee to participate, this is NOT a race, and people of all ages and skill levels are encouraged to join.

#######################
The idea of the Olympic Running Club is to stay fit through running. That makes us capable of enjoying even more of the good life – which includes state of the art food and drinks.
Obviously our main passion is beer – especially drinking beers – and sometimes (preferably) in large scales.
Speed is not the main target in Olympic Running Club. Having fun and great social relations is our top priority
Every first Saturday of the month we meet up for a run, a snack, and maybe a beer or three.
You do not have to be an experienced runner or athlete to join the Olympic Running Club …all we ask is for you to come join us and have fun staying healthy – and sometimes a bit tipsy!!!
