Northern Liberties Run Club

CORRECTION TO A PREVIOUS POST. 📝

Last week we announced that Thursday was the final run for AG and Clarissa Grinham. Very moving. People left hearts. We felt good about it.

Then they showed up Tuesday and ran First Tuesday with us. 😂

So that’s on us. Consider this the real one, and consider our record on predicting these two officially retired. By now they’re either somewhere on I-95 or already unpacking boxes in Virginia. Either way: come back and run whenever you want, we clearly cannot be trusted to say goodbye properly.

The rest of the night ruled too. Hot, humid, and a genuinely packed table at Urban Village Brewing Company afterward. Out and back along the river, everybody picking their own mileage, Happy Hour held open for the crew. First Tuesday does not miss. 🍻

TONIGHT: we run to Parks on Tap at Friends of Penn Treaty Park, 6:30 under the water tower. From 7 to 9 our group gets $5 select drafts and $5 house mixed drinks. Tell them at the ID check that you’re with NLRC.

NEXT FIRST TUESDAY: October 6th, back at Urban Village.

Ten turned thirty five on Thursday, and Philly showed up for it. 🎸

We ran to Future Days Beer Company for their Ode to Pearl Jam and walked into a room that was already going. A PEARL JAM 10 banner hanging from the rafters. Setlists from every Philly show they ever played, papered across the back wall. Nothing but PJ on the speakers. And Tattooed Everything pouring, the Black IPA they brewed for the night, named straight out of the lyrics to Black.

A brewery named after a Pearl Jam song throwing a party for a Pearl Jam record. Of course it went off.

Thank you to Future Days for kicking ten percent of the day to the Vitalogy Foundation, and for being cool about a crowd of sweaty runners rolling into the middle of it. 🍻

Now the part we didn’t want to write.

Thursday was the last run for AG and Clarissa Grinham, who move to Virginia on Tuesday.

They joined a little over a year ago and were instantly ours. It genuinely feels like they’ve been in this club far longer than that. They will be missed, a lot.

Doors are always open, you two. ❤️

THIS TUESDAY: First Tuesday out and back from Urban Village Brewing Company, 6:30.

A week late on this one, which honestly feels right for a night nobody wanted to end. 😅

Last Thursday we ran to Source Urban Brewery for the last time ever. Five years on Frankford Ave. Thirty two taps. A smash burger that outlived every excuse we ever made about mileage. And a room that never once blinked when a crowd of sweaty runners came through the door.

They posted their own goodbye that same night, and the comments underneath it said everything. Fishtown showed up for them the way they always showed up for us.

So we ran there, we raised one, we told stories, we stayed too long. That is the correct way to do it. 🍻

TONIGHT we’re at Other Half Brewing Philly. 6:30, water tower, you know the drill.

NEXT THURSDAY we run to Future Days Beer Company for their Ode to Pearl Jam. Thirty five years to the day since Ten came out.

FIRST TUESDAY, September 1st. Out and back from Urban Village Brewing Company.

Thanks for the five years, Source.
