Can running and drinking go together? From France to Scotland, here are five races where running is a merry party

- Shrenik Avlani

At these international marathons, it's ready, steady, swig

The first race I ever ran was the half marathon at the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon in 2009. I have been running ever since. The first drink I had was in 2003, and I have been drinking ever since. Of late, I find that these two interests of mine have been merging way more frequently than they used to from a decade ago. That's because today there are multiple events that have created a new 'sport' of drinking and running. If the idea sounds exciting, here are five international races you should definitely check out.
