I was just wondering if anyone was aware of a milk mile world record. We ran it at our college tonight and had a kid run 5:11. They drank 12oz. of milk 4 times. So they started with a glass of milk before the first lap and there last cup was before the start of the last lap. So has anyone witnessed anything faster than 5:11?
We had two kids on my college team run under 5mins...crazy race!
No, but I'm pretty sure the beer mile is 4:56. That said, it's very possible someone could have run the milk version slightly faster than 5:11, but I doubt the time would be faster than with beer.
F*cking pussies. Do a beer mile.
The world record for the beer mile is 5:09 by Canadian Jim Finlayson.
This is exactly what is wrong with American distance running -- kids these days running milk miles instead of beer miles.

Exactly. Every rational human knows that alcoholic beverages are far superior to milk in terms of health.
Im not sure of the world records but I can tell you for fact that down at Holy Trinity in Florida, two guys ran 4:59 and 5:02 for the milk mile. Here is the info from the wesbite:
"The final and perhaps most entertaining event of the evening was the Milk Mile. In his vibrant red Chinese Olympic uniform, Kyle Butler led the majority of this race, splitting even 75s (including milk chugging). It wasn’t until the last 200m that Taylor Peliska, threw down an outstanding kick to pass KB on the homestretch, winning in 4:59 to 5:02. Peliska, of St. John Neumann High School, and Butler, of Florida Atlantic University, both recorded outstanding milk-1600m performances – equivalent to at least sub-4:20 normal 1600m efforts. In addition, Marc Dejute, Cameron Dickerson, and Julian Gines ran solid sub-5:30 efforts. Also, William Woodruff, Alex Hoffman, Keith Potter, Philip Wise, Jan-M Albritton-Spain, and Joey Castagnaro all broke the 6:00 barrier." -Jordan Schilit on flrunners.com
Correction.
I am certain that "on the runs", "Greg Bell" and "T. Bagger" are probably record holders in the Queer mile. Oh, wait, milk mile... nevermind.
for a milk or beer mile does the time start upon drinking the first cup before the race starts... or once you drink the cup and then cross the line to officially start running the milk or beer mile?

From the video on runnerspace, yes there's a video, they only drank 8 ounces per lap. 4:59 at 8oz is not the same as 5:11 at 12oz. That's 2 more drinks!

Amen to that!
I couldn't agree any more with you. And to compare those efforts with that of a sub 4:20? Thats like saying I ran 6 400's in 64 secs and I can run sub 4:20. The uninformed high school youth.

So, this was not a "full milke mile," was it? Are beer miles typically run 1600s? or is it usually a full beer mile? Because I'm feeling cheated if all these guys are running beer 1600s and calling it a mile.
Scooby Doo, just for the record, I'm not the one who outed you. A family member of yours did that, not me.
I've witnessed guys at the Chocolate Milk Mile done during D3 nationals run 4:52-53.

And you wonder why it's called Baby Nationals...
I would like to see a coke mile. The drink not the drug. All of the fizz while you race. The puking that would occur. It is a good alternative to the beer mile for underage runners or vegans.
There are no meat or milk products in beer. So beer is ok
for vegans
If you want a real challenge, consider joggling, which is running while juggling. A dude once ran a 4:42 mile while juggling three balls. Read more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joggling
