Escanaba Half Marathon - 5K Run/Walk

10/26/2026

🎉 THE. BEST. NEWS. EVER. 🎉

The Bar IS BACK! 🙌🍻

The Bar has been a HUGE supporter of the Escanaba 5K Run/Walk and an important part of our race's success over the years.

We LOVE seeing great local businesses overcome challenges and come out swinging!

CONGRATULATIONS to the entire crew at The Bar! We can't wait to check out the new digs, raise a glass, and celebrate this exciting new chapter with you!

BOOM! 🍻🎉

Our last few days in our current location will bring some really fun WODs. We would love to see the gym packed as we all say goodbye together, in the best way we know how - a good sweat.

SNEAK PEEK:
Monday - Deadlifts

Tuesday - Pull-ups

Wednesday - Ending with a banger of a WOD.

🎉 But it’s NOT the end, because we DO have another location in the works and we only expect to take a 2-week hiatus. Stay tuned for more details. But just know… this is not goodbye. We are so excited to share our new location with everyone 🎉

See you tomorrow!
