From A to B with low abv - Bristol's annual sober pub run!
Ravers and runners united for the 3rd charity 'Dry Run'. The navigational pub run with a twist on SATURDAY 31st JANUARY 2026!
​
Dry Run is a fresh take on the pub crawl where small teams of (or solo) runners head from venue to venue following their own route, collecting points, completing challenges and sampling an alcohol-free or low abv drink instead of a boozy bev.
​
This is an inclusive event and is accessible to all fitness levels, ages and musical tastes. Entry proceeds are donated to the local homeless charity Caring in Bristol.

Taking full advantage of the amazing space at Lost Horizon, we kick off with a briefing and rave-tempo warmup on the dancefloor so you’re ready to race safely around town. Upon return we will be serving hot street food and spinning party tunes whilst the bar opens for a social celebration powered by our sponsor Arbor and their amazing low ABV and alcoholic beers. Winners will be cheered as they step up to the podium to collect their trophies and we aim that everyone leaves elevated.

How it works:
1. Sign up via the registration link
2. Meet at Lost Horizon for briefing, warm-up and to assemble your crew.
3. Create your routes and try to get to as many points from the independent venues as possible within the given time frame.
4. At each venue you’ll sample a low abv or non-alcoholic drink and collect your points.
5. Once you've visited as many of the venues as you can, run back to Lost Horizon before the cut-off time for prizes and tunes!

FAQ’s:
Can I run it solo or part of a team?
Teams work better however you can run it solo if you prefer. We can also help to assign teams on the day if you want to run as a crew but haven't found one yet.

What do I get?
A cool re-usable cup for sampling your drinks on the run, running events and festivals. There will also be prizes for the top 3 winners and best creative content.

Is there a safe space to leave my belongings whilst taking part?
We will be able to store belongings at Lost Horizon. This will be in a safe space that’s manned throughout the event however we cannot take full responsibility for any losses so please be mindful of what you choose to leave on the premisses.

What kind of music is?

Can I use my phone?
Yes! You can use your phone to help get from A to B. You’ll be given a map with all locations, then you and your team will have to get to as many of them as possible within the given time-frame by navigating to each one which you can use your phone for.

What are the venues?
2026 locations will be announced closer to the time on our socials and mailing list. Make sure you sign up! Some locations will stay the same but most of them will change.

How long do we have to get to each venue?
You will have somewhere between 1 to 1.5 hours to complete the run. This will be confirmed closer to the time.
