About the Event

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 takes to outlast the crowd? There’s only one way to find out.

So grab your crew, lace up your shoes (or don’t—we’re not judging), and come be part of the revival.

You weren’t meant to sit this one out. You were meant to Run to Exile.
