Description
Registration is now open!
The Combustion Brewery Anniversary Beer Mile will be held on Saturday, April 17, 2027 at the Combustion Brewery & Taproom. The Beer Mile will kickoff a day of fun to celebrate our 10th Anniversary. The Beer Mile will start and finish in the Combustion Brewery parking lot.
For 2027 we have added a new race. We are introducing the "Half Beer Half Mile" beer run, for those beer runners that are looking for a shorter run with a little less beer. For the "Half Beer" participants drink an 8oz beer, run a quarter mile, then repeat for a total of 2 beers and 2 quarter miles. The Half Beer Half Mile, is a little less beer, a little less running and a lot of fun.
So what's a beer mile?
Chug a 12oz beer. Run a quarter mile. Chug a beer. Run a quarter mile. Chug a beer. Run a quarter mile. Chug a beer. Run a quarter mile. And then celebrate with your friends as you wait for all the heats to finish. The Beer Mile results will be posted by heat and for the overall finishers.
