From the Organizer
Beer and running! What goes better together? Nothing. Join us on the eve of our Oktoberfest celebration for a beer mile race around the block at Kite Hill Brewing. What's a beer mile? Well, it's simple. You run a mile, except you have to drink a beer before every quarter mile.
The race commences at 6pm on Fri., Sept 12, starting in front of the Kite Hill beergarden tent. Racers will drink a beer, run 1/4 mile out and back around the building, and repeat 3 more times. We'll have awards for top 3 finishes (male and female) along with team awards (teams must have a minimum of 2 males and 2 females to be eligible for team awards.)
Register by August 29 to be guaranteed a exclusive Oktobeer Mile t-shirt!
Vomiting during the race will result in a disqualification and some amount of shame.
After the race enjoy live tunes from Matt A. Phillips, as well as discounted food for all runners.
Sponsorship opportunities are available! Sponsors will be recognized at the beginning of the race, on social media, and on the race shirt (if sponsorship is finalized by August 29.) Reach out to hannah@kitehillbrewing.com for more information.
