Welcome to Bubble Works Run Community...

We are launching the Bubble Works Run Co. (BWRC) brand at our first run back together in August. BWRC is developed from the Mikkeller Running Club - but we wanted to pay a little bit of love to the brewery developed and owned by our kind hosts at Beer Shop Hitchin.

Since Covid some things have stayed the same, some things are a bit different, so just as a quick explainer of what to expect:

We meet at 7pm just outside the Beer Shop on Hermitage Road in Hitchin.

There will be a brief introduction, and any key elements of the route explained. There are usually two lengths of route on offer - a 5k and a 7k. Anyone of any running ability is welcome, but we do ask that you feel comfortable completing at least a 5k distance.

Runners tend to run at their own pace, so we recommend you either buddy up or get familiar with the route, which we publish on our social media or in our whats app group in advance (if you're not in the whats app group and want to be - just get in touch with us on social).

Once we get back from the run, the Beer Shop is not yet open for us to return to drinking in, so we will get some take out and have a socially distanced beer on Windmill Hill - if it's raining we tend to go to the market place to get some shelter. I have not thought as far ahead as the winter yet, as you can probably tell!

There is no access to the toilets at the Beer Shop or any other type of changing facilities, although there are public toilets in the town that are open I believe. While there is hand sanitiser at the Beer Shop, you are advised to bring your own with you.

Please note you will need to bring a face mask with you to enter the shop.

We have been following the guidance and advice from England Athletics and have had two test events prior to this. As part of those requirements, we need to collate basic details on our attendees should we need to pass these on to the track and trace system. We therefore ask that you please register using the form here. If you only decide to run on the day, then no problems, we can also book you in at the event, but you will be asked for your name and telephone number at the very least.

Please do not attend if you feel at all unwell - and particularly if you have Covid-related symptoms:

• a high temperature
• a new, continuous cough
• a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste

If you have any questions, then please do come back to us on any of our social media channels which can be found on our organiser page.
