THE COURSE:
Each 1/4-mile lap will take you through the parking lots and sidewalks surrounding Bottle Rocket Beer Reserve. Participants must follow the marked course and running in the road will not be permitted.
THE RULES:
Each competitor will drink four beers and complete four laps, alternating between the two. Beer must be completely consumed within the designated drinking area before beginning the next lap. No shotgunning, puncturing, squeezing cans, straws, or other drinking aids.
TIMING + PRIZES:
This is primarily a self-timed event, with a clock available to track your laps and finish time. Official times will be recorded for the first male and female finishers.
The overall male and female winners across all three heats will each score head-to-toe gear from Brooks Running!
Stick around after your mile for prizes, raffles, and a good time at Bottle Rocket.
