4th Annual First Street Beer Mile

Sponsored by Blackhorse Pub and Brewery

Presented by Terra Running Company and Mash & Hops

Cleveland's 4th annual Beer Mile on First Street will run from the Mash & Hops to Ocoee St., turn around and head back to Church Street. There will be four laps, adding up to a mile. At the beginning of each lap, runners will consume a 12oz can of beer from Blackhorse Pub and Brewery. Runners cannot start their lap until all beer from the can is consumed entirely in the designated drinking area in front of Mash & Hops. A total of four beers will be consumed. Registration will be capped at 70 participants. Awards will be given to the fastest runners as well as the fastest chuggers. The Beer Mile is proudly organized by a collaboration among Terra Running Co, Mash & Hops, and Blackhorse Pub and Brewery.

Packet pickup begins at 9am on Saturday, August 8 at Mash & Hops. In-person registration is available until the race fills up. You will be required to show a form of ID to ensure that you are 21 or older.

Registration cost is $32 until June 30 and $37 from July 1 until race day.

Never ran a beer mile before? Here are some tips…

*Don’t eat too much within an hour of the race and, be sure to hydrate well the day before and day of the race.

* If you haven’t ran a beer mile before there is chance you may not be able to finish all your beers in the run. No worries, containers will be set near beer stations if for any reason you try and finish the race to quickly and your stomach betrays you.

* You are free to run at your own pace, but the Beer Mile is a race and beer stations will stop serving beer after a reasonable amount of time for runners to complete the race.
