The Chug-A-Lug is an annual 5-mile 5-bar fun run through downtown Detroit and surrounding neighborhoods.
About this Event

HOW DOES THIS WORK EXACTLY?

We meet at a bar, we run to another bar, we hang out, we run, rinse, and repeat. This is not a race or a competition, we spend 30-45 minutes at each bar and get to relax. Any level of runner or walker is welcome to participate. The longest distance between bars will be around 1.5 miles at most. Each person is responsible for providing the bars with proper identification and paying for your own drinks. The event is free to attend, all you need to do is RSVP.

Must be 21 or older to participate.


CHUG-A-LUG AGENDA

Bars will be announced at a later date.




CHAMPIONS' DAY

In 1936, the Tigers, Lions, and Red Wings all won their first championship. The Governor of Michigan and President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared April 18th Detroit Champions' Day, a holiday meant to be celebrated every year. Let's bring back the tradition here - the theme is wearing your favorite Detroit sports gear.
