Hello Ragnarians,

As we all know, running is only tolerable if it is followed up by a cold beer. For those of us in Birmingham, there are several running groups organized through the Birmingham Track Club that share this perspective. List Here.

If any are interested, I suggest we try out one of these groups this week. My personal suggestions:

  • Monday Runday - Group meets a Tin Roof leaving at 5:30 pm and 6:00 pm to run 2, 4, or 6 miles. Follow up the runs at Tin Roof for food and drink specials.
  • Socially Responsible Socials: Groups meets on the last Thursday of every month at Good People. Small donation to do a fun run and party at GP. <--I think I did this once and they typically a 5K loop through UAB's campus
  • Downtown Running Club - Meets on 20th street N on Saturday mornings. <-- Right next to our apartment, so beer drinking at the loft is a sure thing
  • Village Runners - Meets at Western in MBV at around 5:30 am every weekday for 4-6 milers. <-- This group appears to be the heaviest drinkers
  • Black Girls Run - I emailed the leader of this group about joining and she hasn't gotten back to me. Stay posted...
Please let me know if anyone is interested. Tonight could be a fun time to start!

Sounds great. You said the village runners are heavy drinkers. Do they meet in the afternoons for beers? Or did you mean they run at 5:30 p.m. To run everyday? 

Still curious on the black girls group.
