🍺 Beer Mile Rules

The beer mile is simple: 4 beers + 4 laps = 1 mile. To keep it fair, here are the official rules:

1. Each competitor drinks 4 cans or bottles of beer (12 oz minimum) and runs 4 laps around a standard track (beer, lap, beer, lap, beer, lap, beer, lap – finish).
2. Beer must be finished in the designated transition area before starting each lap.
3. The first beer is consumed on the starting line in the transition zone to ensure a full mile.
4. Women drink the same amount: 4 beers + 4 laps.
5. No special cans or wide-mouth bottles allowed that give an unfair chugging advantage.
6. Beers must be standard fermented brews — no hard ciders, sodas, or sweet drinks.
7. Each beer can/bottle must remain sealed until you enter the transition area.
8. Any competitor who vomits must run a penalty lap after their 4th lap (only one penalty lap required, even if it happens more than once).
9. Participants must sign a waiver and provide their own 4 beers. No outside alcohol is permitted other than those used in the race.

🍩 Donut Mile Rules

Prefer sweets over sips? The donut mile is just as easy (and messy!): 4 donuts + 4 laps = 1 mile.

1. Eat 1 donut in the transition area, then run a lap — repeat until 4 donuts and 4 laps are completed.
2. All donuts must be eaten completely before setting off on each lap.
3. Competitors who vomit must complete one penalty lap at the end (only one, no matter how many times).
