Drink & Run

Drink & Run is an Italian fun-run series centered on running, beer, and engaging in a slightly silly activity with friends. The events are not competitive races for times: Florence covers 6 km starting by the Arno at Fiorino sull'Arno, while Bologna is an 8 km run through city streets beginning at Garden Bo. Both are approached more like group training sessions with drinks than formal competitions. The format involves a route divided into stages, with checkpoints serving as necessary stops for a drink and some energy before proceeding. You don't need to be a dedicated runner; the series targets individuals seeking to move, laugh, and participate with a group. The finish line maintains this atmosphere, featuring music, beer, and the principle that finishing collectively is more important than outperforming others.
