A brand new event for Barnes Fitness, but not our first event featuring beer. The Tap Social Tap Room is partciularly special too as the Tap Social Movement is a fully independent social enterprise, craft brewery, bakery, and hospitality organisation that creates training and employment for people in prison and prison leavers. The Tap Room has such a great vibe to it and we are really excited about filling it with happy runners.

In addition to the normal Barnes Fitness "event standards" (listed below) you will receive the following at this event:

- FREE half pint of freshly poured beer when you finish with the choice of:

Major Figures (4% Lager)
Jobsworth (3.4% Gluten-Free Pale Ale)
Day Release (0.5% Alcohol Free Pale Ale)

- Discount code for 15% off Tap Social online beer shop for the month of March 2026

- Exclusive discount on tickets to Tap Social's fifth-annual "Change is Brewing" beer festival" on Saturday 6 June 

- Live music to keep you entertained after the event

- Option to purchase "Pizza & a Pint" for £15 on the day
