Giving and Philanthropy

Northstar Running is excited to present the 2018 Twin Cities Smoosh Championship. For the second year in a row, we are thrilled to partner with Bauhaus Brew Labs as the official race host and refreshment center before, during, and after the smoosh races. New this year, Northstar Running has also partnered with Children’s Minnesota to make this a charitable event. One hundred percent of proceeds from race registrations will be donated to Children’s and Bauhaus will donate a $1 for every beer sold during the event. Who doesn’t want to smoosh race for a good cause!!!
