This might be one of the hardest messages I’ve ever had to write.
After more than a decade of brunching and running together, it’s with a heavy heart that I share that we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel The bRUNch Run for this year.
Our small but mighty team has been working our 🍑 off to bring this event to life, but after reviewing the numbers, we simply couldn’t make the math math.
Between steep tariffs, the loss of key sponsorships due to the tariffs, and the challenging economic landscape, we’ve hit a financial wall. Like many small businesses, we’ve felt the weight of these changes—hard.
As the founder and race director, I take full responsibility. While I’ve done everything I can—from early ordering to seeking out new partnerships—I wasn’t prepared for a year like this.
We don’t have the reserves to pull from, and I can no longer personally fund what it would take to produce this race to the standard you’ve come to expect from us.
If you’ve already signed up for this year’s race, please know that you’ll be receiving a full refund, and we’ve already sent a separate email with details about the refund process.
Now for a little sunshine ☀️ — this isn’t the end. Our run club isn’t going anywhere. We’re pivoting, playing, and figuring out what the next batch of pancakes looks like.
We started this race to create a joyful, community-driven experience—and when we’re able to bring that magic back, you’ll be the first to know.
Thank you for being part of this incredible community. Your support means everything.
With so much gratitude,
Founder + Race Director
