Walkers Welcome: A Recap from All Pints North + Why Walking is Just as Worthy

We just wrapped up a promo event—our Minnesota team took to All Pints North, a destination-worthy beer festival at Bayfront Park in Duluth, MN. We had a blast hosting fun games at our tent and sharing what we do at Brewery Running Series events.

It never fails—so many people stop by and say, “Oh, I’m not a runner!”
Our reply? “No problem. Walkers are welcome too!”

At Brewery Running Series, we have one simple message: you don’t need to be a runner to join the fun. Walking is just as enjoyable—and packed with health benefits. Whether you're walking with friends, bringing a stroller, or just not feeling the need for speed, we invite you to move at your own pace and be part of our active, social community.

Why Walking Works

Walking is accessible, effective, and backed by science:

• Just 15 minutes of brisk walking a day is linked to lower mortality risk and improved heart health—even without reaching 10,000 steps.
• Interval walking, like the “Japanese walking” trend of alternating between brisk and slower pace—can boost strength, improve blood pressure, and enhance overall fitness.
• Routine walking supports bone and joint health, your immune system, mental resilience, and helps manage stress and weight.

Stronger Together: The Power of Group Walks

Walking with others multiplies the benefits:

• Walking with friends helps improve mood, consistency, and motivation. Social walking builds emotional wellness and can combat loneliness. (VeryWell Health)
• Informal meetups and walking groups—like The Sunday Morning Club—are redefining movement as a joyful, community-building activity.
• New research shared by Mo News shows that daily walking may help delay Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline, especially for people with a genetic risk. One standout quote from their podcast:
  “A new study shows that walking daily can reduce the risk of cognitive decline—especially among those with a genetic predisposition for Alzheimer’s.” - Listen to the full Mo News episode
