It is on like donkey kong
That's a lot of money for a beer mile.
Money for ex-Olympians or those who have a 2020 Olympic standard. What current or ex-elite would be good at this? The Ingerbrigtsens? Alan Webb? Joan Benoit?

Ive been to enough Club Nats to know Id pick Julia over Alan.
What about Nick Symmonds?
By their rules, it's possible to get away with running 34cm short, which at 5 m/s would be worth .06 seconds. That might not mean much for a hobby beer miler, but FFS these guys are claiming to certify world records where it does matter that you go the FULL mile.
Where do y'all do beer miles?
