There will be a limit of 20 runners per race, and a maximum of 7 races, so an absolute maximum of 140 runners for the Beer Mile and Root Beer Mile combined.  Plan to get your entry in early to ensure your spot.  We may or may not have space for runners to sign up the day of the event.

What is a "Beer Mile"???  Simply run a mile while also chugging 4 beers.  Fastest time wins!

Details: One 12 ounce beer must be consumed before each lap around a 1/4 mile track.  For official rules, see the official Beer Mile website.

The official world record is an incredible 4:33.6 by Corey Bellemore of Canada.  Here's a video of another world record setting run.

Beer Mile runners must be at least 21 years of age and must also bring a designated driver.  Your designated driver must also be available to volunteer during the race.

We will also have a Root Beer Mile for runners who want to be a part of this fun event but without drinking beer.  (Designated Drivers may participate in the Root Beer Mile!)
