Organiser's Description
Participants must complete four laps around the Yard, with the added twist of consuming a beer before each lap. That's right one beer per lap, four beers in total! Athletes must consume their beverage in a designated "beer zone" before they can continue their run.
Participants must be of legal drinking age and are required to drink only standard beers with a minimum alcohol content of 5% ABV. Any athlete unable to hold down their beer will face a penalty lap before continuing.
The Backpocket Beer Mile Race is an inclusive event, featuring both competitive and recreational categories. Costumes are strongly encouraged!
Safety is of utmost importance. All participants are encouraged to drink responsibly and are required to designate sober drivers or use public transportation after the event. There are medical personnel on-site to attend to any potential issues related to alcohol consumption and exertion.
Prizes will be awarded to the top overall male and overall female participants as well as best costume. Prizes will also be awarded to the top male and female in each age category: 21-29; 30-39; 40-49; 50+. The true prize is the sense of achievement and the memories of participating in this thrilling and hilarious experience!
