WHAT IS A BEER MILE?
Simply put it is a way to combine two passions into one event with both a competitive and fun/crazy/wild aspect. Participants will consume 4x12 ounces of beer while also completing a full mile a quarter mile at a time. We provide the beer and it will be our 1888 Blonde. No substitutions.
|
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Participants will have chosen a wave (35 max) to compete in. To begin 12 ounces of beer are consumed, as soon as the beer is empty a quarter mile is run. At the end of the quarter mile another beer is downed, until 4 beers and 4 laps are completed.
|
FOR ADDED FUN - EVERYONE WILL RUN INTO THE BUILDING ON THE TAIL END OF THE QUARTER MILE LOOP WHERE THE BEER IS BREWED AND THEN THROUGH THE TAPROOM BEFORE EXITING THE BUILDING TO THE BEER CONSUMPTION AREA
ROOT BEER MILE
We will offer one wave up up to 50 people of any age who either cannot drink beer due to age or simply do not drink beer. Rules will be similar.
PARTICIPATE ON A TEAM - beer mile only
Anyone can create a team of 4 people. First, decide on 3 other crazy friends/family/coworkers who will do this with you. Next, create a really fun team name, then pick a "Captain" who will sign up first create a team during registration. Once the team name is registered, other members of the team sign up individually. On the screen that asks about teams choose "Join existing team." Search for your team and click, it is that simple. Everyone will run the full mile individually and don't have to be in the same wave. Time's will be aggregated and there will be prizes for the top 3 teams.
