Heidi Keen Classic Barley Bar Relay

The Heidi Keen Classic Barley Bar Relay takes place in Palouse, Washington, as part of Palouse Days. Teams of four gather at the Palouse Caboose on Main Street for a playful relay with each runner completing a 0.8-mile loop. After each leg, teammates chug a fizzy beverage, with non-alcoholic and gluten-free options available, before passing the baton.

The event invites epic costumes and rewards prizes for the fastest team, best costumes, and fastest individual chugger. Proceeds support a local STEM scholarship. A new feature this year includes a separate chute for ages 15–20, and registration is handled by submitting one team entry. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
