Guinness Challenge Details
If you are in the Guinness Challenge, your race bib (number) will have FIVE beverage tabs on the bottom – three of those are for the three beers you will receive on the course and two are for the two beverages after the race.
At each beer stop you will need to pull off the correct tab for the location and drop that into a collection box before picking up your beer. So do not lose your tabs! You must drink the beer inside the fenced in area at each beer stop. Do not carry your beers outside of those zones.
Pub Run History
Thanks for signing up for the 20th Annual McNellie’s Pub Run! Hard to believe it’s been 20 fun years
already. The idea for the Pub Run was hatched in late 2005, less than one year after the Pub
opened, when Elliot and Meg Nelson and Lori and I met for a lunch at the Pub downtown. Of
course, it included a beer. I had seen other Pub type races in New England, and they tended to be
the odd distance of 4 miles. So that’s how the distance was arrived at. Anything other than a 5k was my thinking.
As we enjoyed our lunch and perhaps a second beer, I presented an idea – to make this thing
interesting we really need to have beer(s) during the race. Elliot of course thought that was a great
idea. He figured he could get Guinness to sponsor the beer. And so, the Guinness Challenge was
born! That first year, we had 381 finishers! Since that time the race has grown to over 1500 annual racers. We opened Fleet Feet Blue Dome in 2010,
joining McNellie’s and several other McNellie’s Group establishments as downtown continued to revitalize.
