BEER MILE

Each competitor drinks four cans or bottles of beer and runs four laps of 400m.

Start with chugging a beer, then run a lap, then beer, then lap, then beer, then lap, then beer, then lap - finish.

Beer must be consumed within the marked transition area before the lap begins.

The race begins with competitors lined up on the starting line, drinking the first beer in the transition zone described in the step above. This ensures competitors cover a complete mile. Competitors can walk/move in the transition area while drinking, but all beer must be consumed in the transition area before setting off to run a lap.

Competitors must drink canned or bottled beer that is no less than 355mL in volume. Beer must be a minimum of 5% alcohol by volume. Hard ciders, hard sodas, and other alcoholic sugary drinks will not suffice. The beer must be a fermented alcoholic beverage brewed from malted cereal grains and flavored with hops.

Participants will be supplied with 4 cans of beer adhering to these rules. Participants are allowed to bring their own beer as long as they meet the regulations above.

No specialized cans or bottles may be used that give an advantage by allowing the beer to pour at a faster rate (e.g. wide mouth bottles/cans).

Beer cans must not be tampered with in any manner. (e.g. no shotgunning, puncturing the can, squeezing the can, etc.). The same applies for bottles - no straws or other aids allowed that speed up the pouring process. The only action allowed is opening the can with the tab at the top or twisting off the bottle cap of a bottle.

Each beer can/bottle must not be opened until the competitor enters the transition zone on each lap.

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 lap). Vomiting more than once during the race still only requires one penalty lap at the end.
