Drink- Run- Repeat. Got your attention?

Looking for a unique twist on your typical race experience? Look no further! Introducing our exciting event: The Copperhead Beer Relay and Individual. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking for some fun with friends, this race promises an unforgettable experience.

Join us at the beautiful Briar Patch Hunting property, situated just north of Poplar Grove Plantation. 

Now, we know what you're thinking—running in the summer heat and through the woods may sound daunting, but fear not! Consider it an added thrill as you navigate through nature's obstacles. Keep an eye out for snakes slithering in the woods and be prepared to brave the elements as you conquer the course.

Whether you're flying solo, pairing up with your best buddy, or forming a team of 3 or 4, the goal remains the same: conquer the 20K course in style. Please note, the beer option is exclusively available for those 21 and older. However, fear not, as chocolate milk will also be on offer for those under 21 or simply looking for an alternative refreshment.

So, grab your running shoes, rally your crew, and get ready for an adrenaline-fueled adventure like no other. Drink, run, repeat - the ultimate recipe for a race day to remember!

Here's How It Works

Participants will tackle a 5K loop, but with a twist. Before each lap, you have the option to enjoy a refreshing 12-ounce beer or indulge in some chocolate milk, with a tempting offer of a 2-minute deduction off your lap time.

You can do this as an individual and run all 4 x 5Ks or a 2,3 or 4 person team.

But wait, there's more! For those who want to kick off the excitement early, you can run  the Beer Mile. Before the main event, participants can partake in the Beer Mile challenge, where you'll enjoy a beer and run a quarter-mile, setting the tone for an adrenaline-fueled adventure ahead.

Finally if you are really crazy, sign up for the Double Copperhead Trouble which involves the Beer Mile + The 20K individual.  Athletes who do both, will be scored in both individual events and have a chance to win in the combined event.

Age Graded Race

Not only will a beer/chocolate milk allow a 2:00 minute time deduction, but we are also implementing age graded results for the 20K Individual and Team Relay.
