Beer Stroll
The Beer Stroll is a gentle mile that starts and ends with BEER. You get all the amenities, too. Shirt, tasting glass, Key to Beer City. We do not time the Beer Stroll or track who comes in first. Everyone is a winner with this one.
Beat the Beast Beer Mile
It's the grandaddy of them all! Join us for our beer mile to beat all beer miles. You will drink 4 x 12 beers (no shotgunning) and run 1/4 mile between each of them. Beat the other runners. AND beat the Beer City Beast! Lose to the Beast or Lose your cookies, and you're OUT of the race.
