Dry Run 2025

From A to B with low abv - Bristol's annual sober pub run

Ravers and runners unite for the second ever charity 'Dry Run'. The navigational pub run with a twist!

Join us on:
SATURDAY 25th JANUARY 2025

11AM - 2PM
LOST HORIZON

Dry Run is a fresh take on the pub crawl where small teams of runners head from venue to venue following their own route, collecting points and sampling an alcohol-free or low abv drink instead of a boozy bev.

This is an inclusive event and is accessible to all fitness levels, ages and musical tastes. Entry proceeds are donated to Caring in Bristol, the local homelsess charity. Sponsored by Arbor Ales.

How it works:

1. Sign up via the registration link
2. Meet at Lost Horizon for briefing, warm-up and to assemble your crew.
3. Create your routes and try to get to as many of the independent venues as possible within the given time frame.
4. At each venue you’ll sample a low abv or non-alcoholic drink and collect your points.
5. Once you've visited as many of the venues as you can, run back to Lost Horizon before the cut-off time for prizes and tunes!

We believe that raving is important and we want to promote low and non-alc bevs within the city for a healthier and more sustainable approach to partying and socialising as well as raising money for a great cause.

FAQ’s:
