Hey, Alex here. In case we haven’t met yet, I lead brand and marketing at VEGAIN and The Grind. And something you should know about me is that I like to run (most of the time). Our headquarters and cafe sits right on the seawall, tucked between the Burrard and Granville bridges. It’s one of those spots that makes it hard not to move your body. So naturally, as a sports nutrition brand in Vancouver, and as someone who likes running, we started a run club.
Here are all the deets:
About VCR:
Our club is called VCR (VEGAIN club de run) - a nod to millennials who would have grown up watching videos via VCR before DVD players, laptops, and long before the slick streaming platforms that now host every movie and TV show you can think of.
Why we started:
Because of you. We’ve had so many people reach out to us saying that they would love to join a run club in west end, and so, we did.
When we run:
We run on Sunday mornings at 9:00am. We ask that you arrive by 8:55am (we like to get going right at 9:00).
Where we meet and where we run:
We start at The Grind (110-1006 Beach Ave) and run 5km on the seawall towards Stanely Park. Current pace is around 6:30.
The perks:
You move your body, get to meet cool people, and afterwards hang out around our kegerator where we you get to try SURGE on tap. You also get a 15% discount to our cafe post-run.
How to join:
Just show up. Or you can sign up here if you’d like it to be more official.
See you on Sundays.
- Alex
