What started as a joke has become one of the most talked-about events of the year. The Shun Run returns to Jacks Backstage for a day that leans fully into the unexpected—a costumed pub crawl with a party-first pace and a finish line that’s more about the story than the outcome.

Participants move through a series of checkpoints around the hill, with four hours to complete the route. Costumes aren’t just encouraged—they’re part of the experience. The “winner” is less about speed and more about showing up, going all in, and making it through every stop.

When the run ends, the energy carries straight into The Shunami—an afterparty that turns Jacks Backstage into a full-scale celebration. Expect music, poolside antics, a returning belly flop contest, and a crowd that’s fully committed to the moment.

This is a come-as-you-are kind of event—just bring a crew (or find one there), a sense of humor, and a willingness to lean into the chaos.
