Where can you do a beer mile?

only in america... or some other crazy dictatorship could this be a problem... in the free world the police would just chill.

You could do it just about anywhere. First, rent the track facility, second, apply for your one day beer& wine permit, hire security to insure all participants are of legal drinking age....

It's not the public intoxication tickets you need to worry about, your participants will get those. Your participants will also have to worry about possesion charges for those 18-21. You have to worry about contributing to the delinquency of a minor for under 18, and you will probably have to deal with trespassing if at a college or high school and destruction of private property or vandalism for those who vomit.

Good luck and have fun!

only in america? Fu*k off!

we did an "road race" style beer mile. We just put all the tables and beer in out garage and measured out a 1?4 mile loop from there. viola, a beer mile with the beer and drinking all on out property. of course this isn't the best if you're going for times (we had a big hill in ours), but it got the job done.

So you are saying I have to make sure everyone is 21? WOW! I never would have thought of that. Gosh I am glad there is letsrun to ask for things like that. Let me ask you this, should I worry about people driving drunk also? Or does that matter at all?Can I invite since you seem to be pretty hip?

Hey, stop being such a douche. These people are just trying to answer your stupid question in the first place.

No, don't worry, PALN is the bigger douche.

My college team was able to pull off a beer mile at our track with about 15 participants and 20+ spectators. I don't think having 30-40 people running would be any more of a problem other than a crowded track and the fact that you would need at least 120 beers ready at the start. If you can do this at night, on a track that is not on a main highway, then that's the way to go. You're gonna want it on a track though, man. That's where the magic is. If you're worrying about getting minors drunk and getting in trouble for that, then you aren't cut out to run a beer mile. I'd say the majority of beer miles are run by college teams, and the majority of college teams are under age 21.

Beer mile in college = team bonding and hilarious stories you will tell for a long time

Beer mile after college = borders on pitiful, unless you are in range of a record or something, or are in some kind alumni beer mile event.

I would have to disagree with you and you will also when you are out of college. Post collegiates like to have fun just like college people. I have been asking around about this and have people interested all the way up to mid 50s. Hilarious stories continue after college.I don't understand why that would even border on pitiful??

He's just bitter that he graduated and can no longer get people together to run one.

i agree. find a poorly-lit track, away from a main road (it's not going to be a quality track, but who cares) and go at night. make sure no ones there before hand, and get in, get dirty, and get out. make sure you have sober people there that can haul off the beer cans, take peoples warmups or whatever, and can drive, and best call for the runners is to just run home afterwards. it's easy to pull off if you're just smart about it.

Real people do the Dixon race:

12 x 1200, w/ 12 Bud Diesels

Our team does it every year on the golf course and it is about a million times more fun than a beer mile.
