Organiser's description
Are you ready?
Come to Capelli Stadium on October 18th to compete in the official Beer Mile of Rochester.
What is a "Beer Mile"?
If you're unfamiliar with a traditional Beer Mile, the event has historical roots in the running community. The Beer Mile was usually only held underground but was held as a professional event for the first time in 2014, finally legitimizing a long-standing but previously unofficial race.
The rules are as follows: Drink 1 beer, run 1/4 mile. Repeat 4x.
Compete Solo, in a 2 person relay, or in a 4 person relay.
You can choose to run both relays if you like.
You can also choose to run the solo and the 4x4.
You may NOT run the Solo and the 2x2 as there will not be enough recovery time in between.
There will also be a party area where individuals can relax, drink, and hang out even if they are not competing.
We will be charging a $5 entry fee for spectators. All entry money will be donated.
There will be prizes for each category:
Fastest men's solo
Fastest women's solo
Fastest 2-person relay
Fastest 4-person relay
Additionally, we will have fun prize categories...
We can't wait to see all of Rochester's Runners come out and participate in this historic and fun event.
***NO RUNNERS UNDER THE AGE OF 21 WILL BE PERMITTED TO COMPETE. IDs WILL BE CHECKED AT THE DOOR***
