Organiser's description
Memorial Day weekend - Whatever Mile!
Following the Whatever Mile there will be a cookout, hot dogs/brats, chips, cookies, and bottled water. Bring your own meat to grill if you want or a side dish to share, but not necessary. Plan to stay afterward and visit. I'll have a fire in the fire pit. We have some seating and lawn chairs but if you have one you might want to bring it.
Remember, this is a Whatever Mile. You can drink or not drink, run or not run. Let's just get together and have a good time!

The Whatever Mile is an event in the style of a traditional "beer mile". There will be a cookout after. The race will provide hot dogs, brats, chips, and bottled water. Bring your own meat to grill if you want or a side dish to share, but not necessary.
Only 25 spots are available. If there are enough people there will be two heats.
Traditional Beer Miles rules - but not necessary
1. Each competitor drinks four cans of beer, White Claw, soft drink, carbonated water, or "whatever", and runs a mile (start - drink, then a quarter mile, then drink, then a quarter mile, then drink, then a quarter mile, then drink, then quarter-mile - finish).
2. The drink must be consumed before the quarter mile is begun, within the transition area.
3. The race begins with the drinking of the first drink in the transition zone which is the back side of the start/finish line to ensure the competitors run a complete mile.
4. Each drink must not be opened until the competitor enters the transition zone on each lap.
5. 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 quarter mile). During the penalty lap, you should ponder the poor life choices that brought you to this moment...
6. You may substitute the seltzer or carbonated drink of your choice if you do not drink alcohol.
7. Hold the empty container over your head with the open side down to prove to the race judge that you drank the whole thing.
8. Dont do anything stupid, like driving while intoxicated. You are welcome to hang out at my house until it is safe for you to drive home.
