Around 6 on Tuesday nights, friends and family know where to find you: downtown, breezing through a 5K with the Jack Quinn's Running Club (jackquinnsrunners.com) and
then downing a discounted Odell pint up against Quinn's bar as sweat
drips down your back.

We're certainly not telling you to stop this ritual, but did you know you can run (and drink) almost every day of the week? We encourage you
to venture away from the comfortable downtown zone a night or two.

Mondays, the Soul Runners take off from Trinity Brewing Co. for your choice of a 4-mile or 8-mile route (trinitybrew.com) and beer deals upon
return. Tuesdays, if you do want a break from Quinn's, try the "Nacho
Ordinary Running Club" for a three-mile jaunt from the Briargate Salsa
Brava (salsabravaonline.com);
a $2.50 22-ounce draft beer is your prize. Wednesdays, head to the Speedtrap
in Palmer Lake (speedtrapcoffeebar.com)
for a 5K and Bristol beer specials. Thursdays hit up the 5K that leaves
from Mr. Biggs Family Fun Center (mrbiggsfunrun.yolasite.com);
$2 pints follow. All of these runs begin between 5:45 and 6:15 p.m.

But if you're more of a morning person, join Sunday's Incline Club at 8 a.m. through June 12; 7 a.m., June 19 to Aug. 14 (inclineclub.com). Though they kept
the name, the group as a whole stopped climbing Manitou's Incline back
in 2000, instead setting up more challenging long runs on and around
Pikes Peak; find details on the website. Bloody Marys after, anyone? —

ALSO!!! Wednesdays at 6pm run with The Colorado Running Company from the store (833 N. Tejon) for a 4-8 mile loop on the Santa Fe Trail then enjoy free snacks and Trinity brews. They also have a Friday run at 7:30am, and every first Saturday at 7:30. Thursday nights, UpaDowna Incline Happy Hour with a finish at Kinfolks for specials.
