The Belgrade Chapter of the international "drinking group with a
running problem". Imitating a hare/hound hunt, we travel 4-7km on
trails throughout Belgrade in search of our prey (a fellow runner) and the
bounty (the beer). Neither running nor drinking is required. About
half the group walks, and water is always provided for non-drinkers. The
only requirement is to not take yourself too seriously and to have a good
time. It is a mix of
Serbs and expats, and the official language is English.
Where: Location changes each run -- explore Belgrade a little!
