Organiser's Description
The Glass Jug Beer Lab [https://www.glass-jug.com/downtown-durham] and BULL CITY RUNNING CO [http://www.bullcityrunning.com]. are proud to present the 4th annual BULL CITY BEER MILE on SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 2025 in Downtown Durham's Central Park.
WHAT IS A BEER MILE?
A 1-mile drinking race combining running and speed drinking. Typically, the race takes place on a 1/4-mile running track (flat). We will be running around Central Park (not flat!). The race begins with the consumption of a 12-oz beer (RUN DRM lager brewed by The Glass Jug Beer Lab), followed by a 1/4 mile lap around the park. The second lap continues similarly; another 12-oz beer is consumed before commencing the running of the second lap. This process is repeated for the next two laps. Following the completion of the fourth beer and fourth running lap, you will cross the finish line!
Competitors must be 21 years old or older. Additionally, there are 2-person and 4-person relay competition options!
Every participant or team not only receives four 12-ounce beers to consume as part of the race, but every runner also receives a Beer Mile [insert new swag here]!
Also, be sure to check out the optional add-ons for some new Beer Mile swag, including awesome new quick-dry hats (plus headbands, socks, shirts, koozies, and more!)
The top 3 individual men and women, as well as the fastest 4-person and 2-person relay teams, will receive (huge) Bull City Beer Mile medals that double as bottle openers, plus a prize pack from one of our sponsors!
PARTY IN THE PARK
This is more than just a race...it's a party! With heats running from 2:30pm until 4:45pm, and the party going until 7, we'll have a DJ keeping things popping, with two food trucks on site, and, of course, The Glass Jug mobile beer trailer parked in Durham Central Park providing all the refreshments!
Runners and spectators are encouraged to hang out in the park to cheer on the runners and enjoy a beer of their own during the race. The after-party will continue in the park until 7:00pm with The Glass Jug remaining open until 12:00am.
FOOD TRUCKS
