Denver Beer Company Run Club
Denver, Colorado
Quintessential brewery run club blending miles with brews in Denver's vibrant scene
About This Club
This is Denver Beer Company's run club, based out of the Platte Street taproom in Highland with runs also happening at other taproom locations. It's free to join with no membership required, and it's built around a simple loop: run, then drink beer together. If you're looking for a casual, no-pressure way to run twice a week and end with a drink in hand, this is set up for exactly that.
Highlights
- Multi-taproom locations
- Tied to brewery events like 50K
- Inclusive all-vibes
- BOGO post-run beers
- Free beer for newcomers
- Captain perks
Who It Suits
This suits social runners and beginners who want the run to be part of a bigger, casual hangout, and it's a comfortable entry point if you've never joined a run club before. It's not built for competitive racers chasing tempo work or anyone training for long-distance goals, since the distance tops out at 3-5 miles. It's also not the move if you're bringing a dog or a stroller, since neither is accommodated.

What a Run With Them Is Like
Runs are 3-5 miles on roads and urban terrain, so expect sidewalks and city streets rather than trails. The pace is described as party pace to tempo, and it's a no-drop group, meaning the run is structured so nobody gets left behind regardless of speed. Walkers are explicitly welcome, so if you need to walk sections, that's built into how the group operates, not an exception to it.

Your First Run
Show up at the Platte Street Taproom by 6:15pm, ahead of the 6:30pm start, and know that first-timers get a free beer, which takes care of the awkward 'do I order something' moment right away. Since the club also runs from other taproom locations, double check which taproom is hosting that day's route before you go.
On the run itself, the no-drop structure and walker-friendly pace mean the worry about being too slow or getting left behind isn't really a factor here. Afterward, stick around for the BOGO beer deal and you'll have an easy, low-stakes reason to hang around and meet people.

Common Questions About Denver Beer Company Run Club
Do I need to sign up or pay anything before showing up?
No. It's free to join and there's no membership requirement, so you can just show up to a Tuesday or Thursday run.
What actually happens after the run?
There's a BOGO beer deal for everyone, and if it's your first time, your first beer is free. Run captains also get a $25 tab.
I'm worried about being too slow or getting dropped. Is that a real risk here?
It's a no-drop run with a pace range from party pace to tempo, and walkers are explicitly welcome, so the group is set up to stay together rather than split off and leave people behind.
Do they cancel for bad weather?
The club runs year-round, rain or shine, so weather generally isn't a reason it gets called off.
Can I bring my dog or a running stroller?
No, this club isn't set up as dog-friendly or stroller-friendly, so plan to leave both at home.
Where this comes from: Club details come from each club’s own channels (their site, Meetup, Strava and social posts) and are checked by hand. Group runs move, so confirm the meeting spot on the club’s latest post before you head out. Last updated April 2026.
