BEER MILE DETAILS: The race begins with the sound of the starting horn and participants will drink their first beer prior to leaving the beer drinking zone. Once the beer is consumed they will run a lap clockwise around a section in between the 2 breweries and return to the beer drinking zone. They will repeat until 4 beers and 4 laps are complete and on the final lap they will finish through the finish arch. The course is flat, paved and fast! Anyone who vomits at any point will have a 3-minute penalty added on to their time.
Beer: Our beer will be brewed by Interchange Tiki Bar & Brewery. 5.2% ABV. A light lager made with American 2 row barely, pilsner malts, and flaked maize. Bittered with Bravo and Sazz. A beer you can easily drink all day. Or chug 4 during a beer mile!!
