Description

The Beer Mile is BACK baby! Come out to drink your beverage of choice (or eat your food of choice!) all supporting the amazing Spikes K9 Fund. Visit www.spikesk9fund.org for more information and to see what their mission is all about. In addition to our regular single runner heats, we are also offering a Relay option and a Kids & 4 Legged Friends Fun Run! Relay teams can consist of 2 or 4 people. Just look for the RELAY heat when registering. The Kids & 4 Legged Fun Run will take place after the Relay heat. Below are the OFFICIAL BEER MILE RULES. As always in the CrossFit world, everything can be scaled! Scale your drink type, the amount you drink or choose to scarf some donuts down instead... All we ask is that we try to have cans instead of bottles for safety reasons. Beer Mile Official Rules: 1. Each competitor drinks four cans or bottles of beer and runs four laps around a standard 400m running track (start with chugging a beer, then run a lap, then beer, then lap, then beer, then lap, then beer, then lap - finish). 2. Beer must be consumed before the lap begins within the transition area. The transition area is the 9-meter zone between the waterfall starting line for a mile race and the finish line of a 400m track. 3. The race begins with competitors lined up on the mile 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. 4. Competitors must drink canned or bottled beer that is no less than 355mL (12 Oz) in volume, which is the standard can/bottle size in the USA and some other countries. 5. 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). 6. 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. 7. 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. 8. Each beer can/bottle must not be opened until the competitor enters the transition zone on each lap. 9. 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.
