Run to Exile: The Comeback Tour 🍻🏃♂️ They said it was gone… exiled… a legend of the past. Yeah, not a chance. Run to Exile is BACK—and it’s louder, faster, and way more fun than you remember. Whether you’re chasing a PR, chasing your friends, or just chasing your next cold beer, this is your kind of race. Choose your adventure: 5K – Fast, fun, and perfect for everyone from first-timers to seasoned runners - MAP 10K – A little longer, a little tougher, a lot more bragging rights - MAP Beer Mile – Equal parts athleticism and questionable decision-making This isn’t your typical buttoned-up race. This is music pumping, people cheering, high-fives flying, and beer flowing at the finish line. Costumes? Encouraged. Friendly competition? Guaranteed. Good times? Non-negotiable. And when the running’s done… the real test begins. Stick around for our legendary Steinholding Competition—where full mugs meet shaky arms and only the strongest (or most stubborn) survive. Think you’ve got what it take
