Join us for our take on the the Beer Mile to be held during our 2nd Annual Fitness Expo. This event will close out the festival at 2:00pm.
In the spirit of a traditional Beer Mile format, you'll have to drink one 12oz beer before running each quarter mile. Since we don't have a track at the Tap House, our course will be a quarter mile out and back loops alternating directions (starting eastbound) along Ralston Creek Trail. If you are looking to break the Guinness World Record you will need to look elsewhere...but you may earn a spot on the Tap House hall of fame plaque.
If your beer mile training level isn't quite there yet, grab a partner and sign up as a 2-person team and enjoy half the beer with twice the fun!

CTH Beer Mile Official Rules:
Each competitor drinks four cans of beer and runs four quarter mile out and back loops from the Tap House (start with chugging a beer, then run an eastbound lap, then beer, then westbound lap, then beer, then eastbound lap, then beer, then westbound lap - finish).
2-Person Teams – Any combination/sequence is allowed (doesn’t not need to be evenly split).
The race begins with competitors at their designated station within the transition zone drinking their first beer before setting off to run a lap. To prove the beer is finished, competitors must hold the can upside down on their head.
Beer cans must not be tampered with in any manner. (e.g. no shotgunning, puncturing the can, squeezing the can, etc.). The only action allowed is opening the can with the tab at the top.
Each beer can must not be opened until the competitor reaches their station within the transition zone.
Competitors who vomit before they finish the race must complete one penalty lap at the end of the race (immediately after the completion of their 4th lap). Vomiting more than once during the race still only requires one penalty lap at the end.
2-Person Teams – If either or both team members vomit the race still only requires one penalty lap but it must be run by both team members together at the end.
