Have you ever promised yourself an ice-cold beer at the pub as motivation to workout? Well, the minds behind The Beer Run are on the same wavelength. They are quite literally combining brews with a five-kilometre fun run that stops at five Melbourne breweries along the way.

The run will kick off at noon on Sunday, July 29, starting at Richmond's Burnley Brewing, continuing on to Mountain Goat, Moon Dog, and Craft and Co, then ending up at Collingwood's The Mill Brewery. Punters will enjoy a beer at each location before running on to the next, with the whole event expected to take around two hours.

The $55 ticket price includes the five brews, a presumably beer-related goody bag and a numbered bib for the run. General ticket sales start next Wednesday, March 21, but some pre-release tickets are available now.
