Ravers and runners to unite for annual sober pub run
An annual ‘Dry Run’ is set to return to Bristol for its third year.
The sober and fitness-focused take on the traditional pub crawl will see teams of runners head from venue to venue where they can collect points, complete challenges and sample low-alcohol drinks.
The run is hosted by Ravers2Runners – a fitness community and movement that blends rave culture with running to promote mental and physical wellbeing.
In true Bristol fashion, the event will kick off with a rave-tempo warmup and end with a celebration and awards ceremony with street food and beers.

“Dry Run is a brilliant way to celebrate the end of Dry January while encouraging a healthier, more balanced approach to partying and drinking,” says the founder of Ravers2Runners, Jo Bryan-Smith.
“It’s fun, inclusive and designed to be challenging yet playful for runners of all abilities.”
All entry proceeds are donated Caring in Bristol, a charity supporting people experiencing homelessness.
Ravers2Runners’ Dry Run takes place at Lost Horizon on January 31 from 11am. For more details, visit www.ravers2runners.com/dryrun2026.
