OMB Run Club
Charlotte, North Carolina
Classic brewery run club with inclusive distances and beer reward
About This Club
OMB Run Club meets every Tuesday at 6:30pm at Olde Mecklenburg Brewery in LoSo, with routes of 1, 3, or 4.5 miles so you pick your own distance on the spot. It's free to join, no membership needed, and the whole thing ends back in the Biergarten with a free beer. This suits people who want a low-stakes weekly run and don't need a long-distance program.
Highlights
- Brewery-based
- Free post-run beer
- LoSo location
- Free beer
- Multiple distances
- Socializing
Who It Suits
This is a good fit for beginners, walkers, and people who mainly want a social reason to run and a beer afterward. It's not built for long-distance training, competitive pace work, or trail running, so if that's what you're after, this specific run won't deliver it.

What a Run With Them Is Like
You've got three distance options each week, from a short 1-mile loop up to 4.5 miles, all on paved road terrain. There's no set pace, walkers are welcome, and the record doesn't describe a drop-off or pace-group split, so it reads as a come-as-you-are run rather than a structured workout. Afterward everyone regroups in the Biergarten for free beer and socializing.

Your First Run
Show up at the Biergarten at Olde Mecklenburg Brewery by 6:30pm on a Tuesday, then choose whichever of the three distances (1, 3, or 4.5 miles) fits how you're feeling that day.
Since walkers are welcome and all paces are fine, there's no real risk of holding up a pack, especially if you pick the 1-mile option your first time out. It's free and there's no sign-up or membership required, so you can just walk in. Following @omb_runclub on Instagram beforehand is a good way to confirm details before you go.
