LHG Run Club Bristol: Good Miles, Good Beer, Good People

If you’ve been around Bristol long enough, you’ll know Left Handed Giant isn’t just a brewery – it’s its own culture. And LHG Run Club fits perfectly into that universe: fun-loving, rebellious, community-obsessed, and made for people who want running to be a little less serious.

Every Tuesday evening, the crowd gathers at the iconic Left Handed Giant Brewpub building at Finzels Reach. Bags get dropped, pints get mentally bookmarked for later, and the crew rolls out for a social 6-10K that loops across the city’s bridges, waterfront paths, and nighttime glow.

The routes rotates every week, keeping regulars on their toes. LHG Run Club also thrown in the occasional off-road adventure, up hills, on the trails, or further afield. Special runs include:

• Trail Nights: Into the woods and up the hills. Headtorches on, friends close, adventure unlocked.
• Brand Collabs: HOKA, Ciele, and more – get your hands on demo shoes, giveaways, and themed runs
• “Trail & Ales” Specials: A bit of mud, a bit of mileage, and a lot of reward at the end.
• Charity Events & Community Actions: Get fit and do good, from fundraising runs to social good initiatives
• Film Nights: Runs followed by documentaries and glass-in-hand Q&As

Whatever the terrain, the vibe never wavers: no ego, no pressure, everyone stays together. First-timers, seasoned runners, steady plodders, chatty runners, club regulars – everyone in it together.

The post-run rewards are legendary: spilling back into the Brewpub for good beer and communal pizza, washed down with great chat.

So, if you want a run club that blends good miles with interesting beers, community warmth with city-centre buzz, and zero-pressure vibes with genuine connection, LHG Run Club is Bristol’s standout. It’s joyful, it’s social, and yes – the beer helps.
