Shoes and Brews 2024
A Laid-Back Social Running Series
Taking place monthly, Shoes & Brews is a group running event featuring demo shoes, discounted drinks, and giveaways, including a free pair of shoes.
- Runners and walkers will meet at Sonny's in Aksarben around 6pm, where they'll be invited to wear a new pair of running shoes.
- These shoes are demo shoes, and there is no cost to test them out.
- Around 6:15pm, we will take off on a laid-back run through Aksarben and Elmwood Park in the tester shoes.
- The run is generally 3-5 miles long.
- Upon returning to Sonny's, attendees be greeted with discounted drinks at the outdoor bar.
- All attendees can also enter into a free raffle giveaway. This month, we'll be giving away 10 custom t-shirts, Kookaburra Cookies, and a free pair of Altra running shoes!
Completely Free and Open to Everybody
Every Shoes & Brews is completely free and open to everybody, regardless of pace, age, etc. Fleet Feet's goal with these events is to grow the Omaha running community and make running more accessible and fun for everybody!
Come to All Events and Get Rewarded
Individuals who attend all Shoes & Brews events will receive a custom-designed beer stein and be entered into the Grand Prize Raffle. We will have punchcards available at the April event to track your progress!
