bRUNch is a local social club where Denverites meet, run and finish strong, with an amazing meal and a stiff drink or two.  Denver is a hub for active people and food enthusiasts; Forbes just ranked Denver as the fifth fittest city in America.  Combine this with our current ranking on Yelp as the third best city for brunch and you have a winning recipe.

bRUNch was “launched as a way to share our own Sunday habit with others,” states Alexandra Weissner, the co-founder of bRUNch Running.  She and her team created a killer second season restaurant line up featuring “well-known favorite spots with those just opening their doors,” in Denver.  The bRUNch team has one goal: to promote a healthy and active lifestyle, inviting Denverites to come hit the pavement together every Sunday from April until August.

 

bRUNch kicked off their season at Linger this past Sunday.  This Sunday, April 13th, they will be dining at Vesper Lounge.  Tickets for bRUNch are $25 and include an entrée and two drinks, all of which you can choose from their select menu, listed on their website.  Pre-purchasing your tickets will save you a few bucks; the tickets go up to $28 the day of and are not guaranteed, as there are a limited number of seats available for each bRUNch.   All event tickets are currently on sale at brunchrunning.com and one dollar from each ticket sold benefits Metro CareRing; a food bank and hunger relief program serving Colorado families.

bRUNch welcomes all levels of runners and walkers to participate, so grab your favorite sneaks and  join me this Sunday.  Check-in begins at 9:15 am at the Vesper Lounge, located near 7th and Grant.  The run will begin at 9:30 am.  You can choose to run or walk a 5K or a 10K upon registering.  All bRUNch routes are designed to help you train for your upcoming events and races.  Both routes have been mapped out on their website and loop from the Vesper Lounge out through the city and back to the restaurant, where a delicious meal and cool cocktail will be anxiously waiting for you.

 

 

Partnering with 20 local independently owned restaurants and businesses, bRUNch is ready to kick off its second season of dashing and dining.
