Sun May 17, 2026 Roanoke, IN 46783 US Directions

Beer Mile

The Trail Beer Mile rules are pretty simple. Each participant drinks four bottles or cans of beer and runs four laps around a trail loop that is at least 400 meters. The trail surface must either be grass, dirt, or gravel The total distance run must be no less than one mile. Participants chug a beer, then run a lap, then chug a beer, then run a lap, then chug a beer, then run lap a, then chug a beer, then run a lap to the finish line. The trail beer mile winner is the first to drink all of the beers and cross the finish line first without vomiting.

Each participant must finish each beer in the transition zone before each lap begins. The transition zone is a nine meter area between the designated starting line and the finish line of the 400 meter trail.

The beer trail race begins with all the participants in the transition zone. Participants can move in the transition zone while drinking, but each participant must drink all beer in the transition zone before they can begin a lap.

Participants must drink canned or bottled beer that is 12 ounces in volume. Beer cans must not be modified (no shotgunning, puncturing the can, or squeezing the can).

No straws or other devices that speed up the pouring process are permitted. The only action allowed is opening the can with the tab at the top or twisting off the bottle cap of a bottle by hand. No cans or bottles may be used that give an advantage by allowing the beer to pour at a faster rate (e.g. wide mouth bottles/cans).

Each beer can must not be opened until the competitor enters the transition zone on each lap.

Competitors who vomit before they finish the race must complete one penalty lap and beer at the end of the race (immediately after the completion of their 4th lap). Vomiting more than once during the race only requires one penalty beer and lap at the end.

A race official will determine that each can is empty. This is achieved by the participant tipping the empty beer can over a container. 

The race official will penalize the runner to 60 seconds in the penalty box if the race official determines the can is not sufficiently empty.
