what is a beer mile?

Runners will start by drinking a can of beer in the start area and throwing the empty can in the recycling bin. Then they will run once around the 400 meter loop. Runners repeat the cycle, drink a beer, run a loop - for a total of four beers. BYOB, please. ​

schedule

​4pm — SIGN IN
Harvest Spirits Distillery, 4 - 5 pm
5pm — WELCOME, RULES AND SET UP
Golden Harvest Farms Parking Lot
5:15pm — Beer Mile Start
4 x 12 oz. cans of 5% alc (or higher.). Hard cider is ok.
 
5:30 — Non-alcoholic Beer Mile Start
4 x 12 oz. cans of carbonated beverage​
6:00 — After Race Dance Party
Spinning records on the stage, serving craft cocktails, local beer and homemade hard cider around an ethanol fire pit. All ages, well-behaved dogs and supervised kids welcome.

awards

No awards, just bragging rights that you actually did a Beer Mile. However we appreciate hard work. So every runner who finishes gets a complimentary glass of hard cider for their effort.

Absolutely free

Yes, it's absolutely free to run, but we'll ask you to sign a waiver for insurance purposes. It's a busy time of year on the farm, so parking will be tight; please consider carpooling. Bring your trail running shoes, because the ground is uneven. There will be a time clock but this is not a competitive race. Post race dance party in the Harvest Spirits Cocktail Garden. No birthday gifts for Derek necessary, but a hug is welcome. ​
