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.

Packet Pickup - In-store packet pick-up usually begins on the Tuesday before the event. Participants will receive an email once packet pick-up has begun.
Race day packet pickup will also be available at McNellie's at 1st and Elgin near the START/FINISH Line. We do advise you to pick up in advance as it gets very crowded on race day. Also on race day, you will need to get a "beer wristband" by the start line to receive your beers in and after the race. You must show your ID to be issued a wristband.
Note that when you pick up your packet you will be given the shirt size you registered for. If you want to change sizes you can do that after the race once all packets have been picked up and if we have any extra shirts remaining.
