🎉 Social Scene👟 Beginner OK🤝 Community First🐕 Dog-Friendly🐢 No-Drop
Louisville's biggest social run club, founded in September 2013 to "promote fitness, friends, and community" — a free 5K-ish run three nights a week at 6:30 PM, each from a different host brewery, with drink specials and food afterwards. Membership is free, every pace is welcome (walkers included) and dogs are encouraged. The hosts change — the Monday taproom on Bardstown Road that everyone still calls Great Flood rebranded as Big Rock Bar & Brew in 2026 — so check the club's Instagram for this week's start spots before you head out.
