RUNNING WITH LANCE ARMSTRONG TONIGHT!!! MOVED UP TO 6PM

Wow, so the local twitterverse here in Montreal has exploded because the amazing (regardless of his recent headlines) Lance Armstrong will be hosting a special run tonight starting at 6PM at the Tam Tams statue for a 7.5km run through the park.

We will do as much as we each can do individually, then regroup at the finish and walk over to St. Sulpice after for celebratory drinks. If we can convince Lance to join us, that'll be icing on the cake.

We're Moving The Starting Point!!!! IMPORTANT NOTICE

Ok, so since we've been having some trouble with people locating the club, using the McGill gym as a reference point has to go.  So, we've moved up the street just a bit, but it'll be a new point that sticks out much more and will not be crowded or confusing.

From now on, runs will start at the Gazebo on Parc Jeanne-Mance, just down the hill (south) of the Tam Tams monument outside the entrance to the mountain from Avenue Parc.  Runs will still start at 7:30 for now, but may switch to 7 soon to take more advantage of the dwindling daylight.

Hope this is easier for everyone and we're still proud to say that we keep growing every week and will not stop until everyone knows who we are!

Last weeks of summer, make it count!

The summer days seem to quickly be fading on us here, but we intend to make the most of it.  Tonight's run is to a great location more off the beaten path than a lot of the bars so far, but definitely a great one to check out.  The beer list tonight is 33 beers long, the terrace is still open, and there's no better place to be.  http://www.vicesetversa.com/.

Side note: We are considering changing the starting location.  If anyone has had trouble locating us please don't be shy and we can explore other start points.

Rain or Shine, We Run!

Hello Everyone,

Don't let the weather outside get you down or make you worry, we still run, even if the rain will try to melt us or even worse dilute our beers.  Luckily, Brutopia has plenty of room inside and out, so all you really need to worry about is getting to the bar.

See everyone near the corner of Parc and Des Pins, don't look for us at the entrance of the gym, we meet more down by the windows of the weight room (for those of you that know what the McGill gym's interior is like)

We're now on facebook.......fancy!!!

Well the group just keeps on growing, but the word still needs to get out there.  So, the official Montreal Beer Runners facebook group has been made, and it's the place to go to get to know your fellow runners, upload pics and videos, and start random discussions on whatever truly suits your fancy.

You can find it by looking up Montreal Beer Runners or clicking the link http://www.facebook.com/groups/392120524189223/.

Have fun and looking forward to seeing everyone tonight.
