Flannels & Friends Beer Mile
About this race
FLANNELS & FRIENDS BEER MILE
A Flannel-Themed Beer Mile
Fall running season just got a little more ridiculous. 🍻
We're celebrating 10 years of UPside Brewing the best way we know how - a parking lot party and a Beer Mile Run!
Grab your favorite flannel, lace up your running shoes, and get ready for a beer mile that’s equal parts running event, fall party, and questionable decision-making.
Here’s how it works:
4 laps. 4 beers. 1 mile.
Drink a beer > run a lap > repeat until you’ve conquered all four.
Come ready to run, laugh, cheer on your friends, and fully commit to the flannel theme. Whether you’re here to chase a PR or just make it through all four laps with your dignity intact, there’s a place for you at the starting line.
