Beltline Run Club
People enjoy that the runs are free, open to anyone (all fitness levels) and no registration is required. Participants come for the 2- or 4-mile fun run/walk and stay to socialize with other runners and enjoy the post-run refreshments. Supporting breweries offer discounts on beverages and sometimes food. The weekly raffle of ABP/ATC swag and gift cards and products from the host breweries has become a participant favorite.
