Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest Share on WhatsApp Share on Email A popular beer brand has set out on a mission to prove that January doesn’t need to be miserable with the launch of a running club with a twist - and finalists are set to earn an award-winning beer once they cross the finish line. Innis & Gunn’s one-off run club is being led by Mark Baxter, UK Athletics Running Coach, and attended by former Olympian and Commonwealth Games Silver Medallist Lynsey Sharp.

‘Innis & Runn’ will follow an easy 5km route in Edinburgh – which just so happens to be a pint-shaped map on the Strava app. The event will take place on Saturday 11 January at 11am, and a complimentary 4.6% or alcohol-free lager will be awarded to all successful participants.



The run club brings to life the latest episode of Innis & Gunn’s mockumentary series, a unique ‘fly on the wall’ series showcasing the brewer’s real-life employees, including founder Dougal Sharp and commercial director Crawford Sinclair, alongside special guest stars: Scottish comedians Paul Dockery and Katie McKenzie. The third episode in the series, produced by BAFTA-winning creative agency Studio Something, begins with the Innis & Gunn team identifying that run clubs are the new pubs - and hatch a schem.
