The “Beer Mile” World Classic
World Champions from USA, Canada and Australia square off for world beer mile domination by drinking a full-sized beer, running a quarter mile, then repeating the process three times – and they do it in under 5 minutes. Yes, this is a “sport” ESPN even did a feature on it.
There will be music, beer stands, food stands, lawn games like Giant Jenga, Giant Beer Pong, and Cornhole, and exciting events happening throughout the day. Your doctor probably won’t approve, but their menu is scientifically proven enhance the beer mile experience: Pulled Pork Poutine, Chocolate Coated Bacon, Fish and Chips, BBQ Chicken Drums, Grilled Chili Dogs, Buffalo Mushrooms, and Jumbo S’mores.
You can also try to finish a beer mile yourself (4 beers in 4 laps – a combination of the toughest/funnest mile ever). The public “fun” beer miles start around 2 pm, and the world classic champs will be go off between 5:30-6:30 pm with World Record Holder James “The Beast” Nielsen.
