10K Tailgate Trot
Lehigh Valley Road Runners
Kick off your Super Bowl Sunday with a 10K! Running and racing since 1993, the Lehigh Valley Road Runners (LVRR) aim to develop and promote distance running and racing across the Greater Lehigh Valley area. All are invited to join them at this weekend’s annual Tailgate Trot, a tradition since 2002. The race begins at 9:30 a.m. and has a two-hour time limit, with check-in at the LVRR Club House from 8:15–9:15 a.m. Registration is online only through 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, February 10; the fee is $40. Participants must be at least 10 years old.
Super Singing Bowl Sunday
Easton Yoga Collective
Easton Yoga Collective has been connecting the Easton community to their breath, movement and wellness for more than 23 years. Ahead of (or perhaps in lieu of) a fanatic Super Bowl evening, they're inviting locals to sink into simple mindfulness with some sound meditation. At 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, Meg Green, a Kundalini yoga and meditation instructor, musician and Reiki master, will play metal and crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes and flutes, creating a relaxing soundscape. There will be blankets, bolsters and props on-hand to promote relaxation atop Easton Yoga Collective’s heated floors, but attendees are also welcome to bring their own comfort items. The cost is $33 for members or $37 for non-members; participants must be at least 16 years old.
Puppy Bowl Sunday
Retriever Brewing Co.
Retriever Brewing Co. (RBC) opened its doors back in July 2021, promising a great atmosphere for humans and dogs alike. The brewery believes in living “the retriever lifestyle” all year round, so it’s no surprise that they’ve incorporated man’s best friend into their Super Bowl festivities. This Sunday, attend RBC’s third annual Puppy Bowl from noon to 3 p.m. and meet some adoptable puppies from the Sanctuary at Haafsville. Stick around for food from Hang Over’s Cafe food truck from noon to 7 p.m. Enjoy $10 RBC flights and discounted pours all day long.
Takeout Specials
McCall Collective
The Valley’s first female-owned brewery, McCall Collective has been serving the region since June 2020. Celebrated for the smoked meats at their Taphouse, both McCall locations are offering takeout specials this Sunday, including bone-in wings and boneless bites (choose from BBQ, buffalo, hot honey, Asian zing and Nashville sauce options) as well as cheesesteak egg rolls served with chipotle ranch dip. Place your order by Thursday, February 8 for Sunday pick-up. Don’t forget to get some beer to go, too!
Detroit Takeout Special
Switchback Pizza Company
Switchback Pizza Company is beloved for its farm-fresh pies, with the Blue Moon (complete with roasted portabella mushrooms, caramelized onions and Gorgonzola) earning itself a spot as a favorite for many local connoisseurs. This Sunday, Switchback is celebrating big with their take on a new classic style of pizza. They’ve got three Detroit pie options to choose from as well as three vegan Detroit pie options made with NUMU cheese. Easy to reheat, Detroit pies can be picked up early and enjoyed during game time. Order yours via text or email and pick it up between 2–6 p.m. on Sunday.
Super Bowl Cakes (Taylor’s Version)
Vegan Treats
Vegan Treats has been producing mouthwatering desserts for more than two decades, and this Super Bowl, they’ve made their stance clear: they’re rooting for Taylor Swift. Join in on the fanfare! All week long, the vegan bakery is creating cakes adorned with phrases like “Big Yeti,” “Go Taylor’s Boyfriend” and “Taylor’s Version.” The red velvet cakes can be ordered with a cream cheese frosting or a cookies and cream filling, while “Big Yeti” is made with Funfetti. Not to be mistaken with a fare-weather Swifite, Vegan Treats has let its fan flag fly across multiple Eras.
