Organiser's description

Its like a beer mile, but with hot dogs! 4 hot dogs, 4 quarter mile laps, hopefully no puking and some beers at the end. A great hang-out to support dogs, eat hot dogs, have some beers and enjoy a lovely Sunday at Eastern Market Brewing Co!

The Hot Dog Mile is an annual event celebrating hot dogs and regular dogs, dreamed up by the runners of Eastern Market Brewing Run Club. Participants eat four dogs and run four 1/4 mile laps- its as simple as that! All proceeds after race costs are donated to Detroit Dog Rescue!

The race/hot dog celebration runs from 11-2, with three waves starts every 45 minutes. Choose your start time when registering.

Motor City Franks hot dogs will also be on site for spectators to grab a dog while they watch!

Additionally, this year we will be raffling off hot dog, running, and dog related items to raise additional funds to donate. Raffle tickets are included with both racer and spectator ticket packages, and additional tickets will be available for purchase at the event.

Optional Swag this year includes race sticker, race t-shirt and new this year- race day mugs! Purchase your hot dog mile mug and receive $1 off beer pours during the event!

***New! Weve got hats! Check it out! Make your friends, co-workers, grandparents, newborns etc. jealous with this sick neon green trucker hat! Add it to your ticket at registration, or check out our new super race bundle to get all the swag for the best price!
