Could you do this? What would your strategy be?

It's easy, jog 10 miles, then enjoy a few cold ones over the remaining 70 minutes.
This should be included in the Pre Classic.

Hahahahah love that
Not sure strategy really plays into it. You clearly run 10 miles hard then start guzzling. You'd have to keep you vaporflys on for the drinking. Also depends on what kind of beer is selected.
If I trained for it I think I could get it in under 70 minutes. Once at a party I shot gun a beer, ran a mile. Did it 4 times before I tapped(I don't really drink so I quit after the bubbles got to me). But all my mile splits were under 6:30, except the last one being around 6:45. So if I could get my shot gun technique down to under 30 seconds + 6:30 average pace, sub 70 should be the goal.
1 at the start, 1 at 6 miles, 8 when i'm done
Strategy: Ten beers first, forget all about running, fall asleep.
I don’t drink anymore, so no.
However, even in my prime running and drinking days probably not. 10 beers in an hour is very tough for anyone that has tried century club or power hour. If you are successful, the reward will be a killer hangover.
You can get 10 miles in 60 minutes
That leaves 60 minutes for 10 beers
Easy as hell. Any high school or college kid can pull that off. Drink 3 and get a little buzz, then shotgun 3 more to get em down quick, then you only got 4 beers left!
Drink a beer before every mile.
Otherwise known as every college afternoon for me, summer 87 and 88.
2 beers in 5 minutes. 8 miles in 60 minutes. 8 beers in 30 minutes. 2 mile in 20 minutes. At 1:55 shotgun an 11th beer.
A lot of people claiming this is a lot easier than it really would be. 10 beers in an hour is a lot of volume - essentially a gallon. Even the high school/college drinking tradition of a power hour is only 7.5 beers.
I could've done it in my early 20s but I'd have run hard to be as much under an hour as I could be and it would still be painful at the end on beers 9 and 10. I still think that is better than shotgunning a couple at the start before my 10 miler, but if I failed maybe I would reconsider.
I think something like:
Drink 2 beers
run 5 miles
drink 2 beers
run 5 miles
drink remaining beers
would be best. Or maybe do it with 3 or 4 mile running bouts between the drinking. For me at the moment, 10 miles or 10 beers all at once seems like a stretch.
Too much carbonation, too little time. I'd puke like an open fire hydrant on beer #5.
Dumb. I wouldn't want to drink that much of anything in a couple hours, even water. Why TF do that to your body?
