That would be drink a beer run a mile for 26 miles. Haven't decided if the first or the last running portion would be 1.2
Looking to see if anyone has ever tried or heard of someone trying this. I think averaging a beer and a mile in 12 minutes would be pretty sick. Who thinks I could do it?
Also I'm sure Rexing has done this event many times, so could someone post his world record?
Not possible to do it that fast. 26.2 beers in about 5 hours plus all that running? (If you averaged 12 min/mile). It would be possible to do in about 10 hours... maybe. The hardest part would be not getting so wasted that you pass out with 5 miles to go.

5 miles to go? haha - try 15 miles to go.
I agree, zero chance of this happening. I don't know many runners who can drink 26 beers in a day without running.
no more input? I think it's certainly possible, I mean haven't you guys ever done a case race?
yes but not with the whole case. usually 3 or 4 people to a team on 1 case.
i guess back in college i could put down close to that many beers on a friday or saturday night, but that was a solid 6-7 hours of drinking and close to blacking out by the end of the night.
a beer every 5k might be more realistic...maybe with a shot for the last 2k?
As someone who has completed a 24/24 in 10 hours I have often wondered about doing a beer marathon. The one thing that makes it much harder is doing it the right way you should run a mile, then drink a beer. When doing a 24 you can front load mileage then just drink which makes it much easier. I do think a beer marathon is possible, I just think you would have to take about 20-25 minutes for the beer and the mile combined.
one person to a case is the manly way to go. we did it and the winner was just over 6 hours. That's where I got the 12 minutes from. I wouldn't be close to that but I mean I think it might be possible. Also, the feat itself certainly is possible.
how many miles do you do in a case race?
I think if you tried a beer a thon you would get hammered. Might have to walk Miles 10-13 just to sober up a bit.
Beer-a-thon ekiden style race. A beer every km, with no leg longer than about 8K.
I realized my first post may have been confusing. I think I could do it, but in no way do I think I would touch 12 minutes for mile/beer. I just think that if someone trained they could get down to that time. I think it would have more to do with your beer drinking ability rather than your running ability by the way.
I can't believe no one has tried this though... I think I want to be the first
it's been attempted...
No way. I remember doing a three mile walk in college with where we drank a six pack. It was way harder than it sounded (ie sounded easy, but ended up being a pretty good buzz). Running 26 with a beer every mile? No chance. Half marathon would be a challenge.
you think I could get wolf blitzer to come cover me?
