Mikkeller Running Club

About Mikkeller Running Club

A social running club started in Copenhagen by Mikkel Bjergsø over 10 years ago. MRC is now a global, chapter-based community (100+ chapters) focused on inclusive, no‑drop social runs followed by beers at local bars/breweries. Membership and chapter info are managed via the Mikkeller Running Club app (members receive a membership card and bar/partner discounts); chapter schedules and formats vary by city (short social runs, pace groups, intervals, monthly longer runs, etc.).

Run Details

What to Expect

Expect an inclusive, social, no‑drop run with mixed ability groups and a post-run social (often beer) at a local Mikkeller bar or partner brewery. Distances vary by chapter (typically 3–11 km), sessions include easy social runs, pace groups, intervals and occasional longer/monthly runs. Many chapters encourage newcomers to find their local schedule via the app or website and simply join the group.

Leadership

Mikkeller Running Club was started by Mikkel Bjergsø in Copenhagen; the global program runs through Mikkeller and local chapters are organized by volunteer captains or local leaders (chapter examples reference captains such as 'Drew' for Phoenix).
