Beer District Beer Mile

New Bern's 4th annual beer mile!  Drink a 12oz beer, run one-quarter mile, drink a beer & run, drink a beer & run, drink a beer & run.  4 beers in one mile.  

The world record is now 4 minutes, 28 seconds (males) and 5 minutes, 43 seconds (females).  This will be an "unofficial" beer mile, so broken records will not be acknowledged by the world record gurus.  Registration will be limited to 100 participants; participants will receive the 2024 challenge coin bottle opener.  Please be sure to designate a driver before stepping up to the start line. 

Does the thought of 4 beers and 4 laps sound intimidating?  Find a partner and race as a 2-person relay team. 

Cost of the individual beer mile is $25 per person.  Cost to participate as a 2-person relay team is also $25 per person; you can create a group/team during registration. Teams are limited to 2 people...let's see who can be creative with their team name.  

Freshwater Beer Company and Coastal Sole Performance Footwear are partnering together for this fun event.  This year's proceeds will be used to purchase an accessible race chair to be kept a Freshwater for a more inclusive pub runners club.
