McGregors Beer'd Mile
About the Event
McGREGOR'S 2027 BEER'D MILE
Introducing one of Southwest Florida’s most entertaining races... the 2027 Beer’d Mile, held the day after McGregor’s Kilts & Kilometers 5k! If you love a proper pint, a good run, St. Patrick’s weekend, or just a bit of mischief with your mates, this one’s for you.
This race celebrates two sacred things: beer and beards. And yes, both matter.
THE BEARD RULE (Non-Negotiable)
All participants must have a beard or wear one.
No beard? No worries. Every runner receives an official leprechaun hat with beard... and it must be worn during the entire race.
After the race, we’re hosting a proper Best Beard Competition. Decorate it. Braid it. Spray it green. Add shamrocks, beads, glitter, lights... if it looks like it escaped a St. Paddy’s parade and found its way to Bell Tower, you’re in the running.
