Catch a Grip

THE PERFORMANCE PUB RUN

8 Kilometers. 8 Stations. One ultimate test of grit revived from the archives of 1990.

The Belfast Stool Run is Back.

Restarted by HYROX

In 1990, the Stool Run vanished from the Belfast social calendar. It was a test of grit that local legends still whisper about.

Now, HYROX—the global fitness race for everybody—has dusted off the archives to restart the engine.

We are bringing the same route, the some of the original pubs, and the same spirit back to the city streets.

The HYROX Twist

In a true HYROX race, you have stations. Here, your stations are liquid. You must clear one drink challenge at each checkpoint to move to the next KM.

STATION 1: THE ERRIGLE

The "Engine" Stout

A classic pint of Guinness or a 0.0% equivalent. Settle the stomach, find your pace, and start the engine.

STATION 2: THE BOT

The "Isotonic" Cider

A crisp Magners over ice. High sugar, high energy. The perfect fuel for the uphill climb to the University quarter.

STATION 4: THE CROWN

The "Recovery" Gin

A Belfast Gin & Tonic. Clean, botanical, and sharp—enough to snap you back into race mode for the city center sprint.

STATION 8: THE SUNFLOWER

The "Victory" Ale

The final hurdle. A local craft pale ale. Cross the line, down the ale, and claim your legendary Finisher Tee.

*Non-alcoholic options available at all 8 stations. Any drink is just a suggestion; stay safe and know your limits.
