Runners who have not submitted a signed waiver will not be able to participate in the race.
ABOUT THE RACE:
Plan a trip to beautiful downtown Palouse for the 2026 Palouse Days festivities and stay for a run and chug!
Find your 3 fastest running and/or chugging friends to make a complete team of 4 runners, don some epic costumes and find us on main street! Each person will run a 0.8 mile loop and chug a fizzy beverage (including non-alcoholic options) before passing the baton to their teammates. The race ends after your 4th teammate finishes their chug.
Any of your teammates underage, not drinking alcohol right now or can't enjoy the gluten? We will be offering non-alcoholic and gluten free (yet still super carbonated) options for runners. New this year, we will have a separate race chute set up outside the beer garden enabling participants between the ages of 15-20 to participate in the race.
Race proceeds, donations and sponsorships help fund an annual scholarship for a local Garfield-Palouse graduate pursuing a career in the STEM fields.
