🍺Ten years strong and still serving up the good stuff!🍺
We’re beyond thrilled to announce that our friends at the Palouse Caboose are once again the official beer sponsor of the 2025 Barley Bar Relay. 🎉

Year after year, they show up for this event, for our runners and for our community. As they celebrate a decade in business (cheers to that! 🍻), we’re raising a glass right back at them for being the kind of local favorite that makes the Palouse so special. 💛🌾

Here’s to great people, great local businesses and another great relay!

We couldn't have a Barley Bar Relay each year and raise funds for local scholarships without the help of some amazing local sponsors. We'll be introducing you to this year's sponsors leading up to race day, but if you know of others interested in sponsoring the race or making a donation to the Heidi Keen Memorial Scholarship, please comment here for more info or send us a direct message.
