Join us for our 122nd First Saturday gathering!It’s a new year, and that means a fresh start! This First Saturday, we're kicking off 2025 with balance in mind and giving you a chance to start the year out the best way possible: With a run and a delicious beverage.
While we love beer, we also know moderation is key. So let’s lace up, go for a run, and enjoy a refreshing drink afterwards. We will both have Year of the Lager, a non-alcoholic beer and some sodas.
But that’s not all — this First Saturday we are making a raffle with great prices to win. We have teamed up with some of our best friends, to make an exciting raffle.
We’ll keep you updated here as more details are confirmed, but for now, just click attend and save the date.
Will we see you there?

🌱 What is Dry January?
We also heard someone call it White january - however - Dry January is an initiative that began in 2013, encouraging people to take on a personal challenge: abstaining from alcohol for the entire month. Whether you’re committing to a full Dry January, just a few days, or skipping it altogether, Mikkeller Running Club is here to inspire everyone to have a great time—both with and without alcohol.
At MRC, we believe in balance, and this is a perfect example of how we embrace it. That’s why we’re dedicating our First Saturday in January to celebrating this initiative and showing how fun and flavorful Dry January can be!
