We're going B A N A N A N A S for the Going Banana

We're going B A N A N A N A S for the Going Bananas Run! We're thrilled to be a part of this wonderful and slightly wacky fun run through the Lincoln Park neighborhood. ⁠
⁠
The Going Banana’s Run is a first-of-its-kind event where participants receive a banana suit and run to raise money for a good cause. This comes with a catch. After 2 minutes the race releases their “Gorilla” which is their inside man dressed in a gorilla costume. If the bananas can beat the gorilla in the race, a part of their race proceeds gets donated to Project Joy, a local charity run by Olympic Curler (Chris Plys).

Big cheers to our friends and neighbors at @damage

Big cheers to our friends and neighbors at @damageduluth for holding it down for 20 (!!!!) years! Grab a pint of Damage Double Decade Fresh Coast IPA and cheers to this @lpbgduluth legend 🛹🎉💕
