What if we got 150 New Yorkers to chug a beer and run a lap. four times. and called it a race?
We did not invent it. We are simply gathering the willing. This is our variation of the beer mile, which means team formats too, for those who'd rather split the beers with a couple friends (normal-sized stomachs welcome).
No, it will not be on a track. that would be boring.
Come if you're a runner. come if you're a chugger. come if you're neither and simply enjoy watching chaos unfold in a park.
you don't have to race to be part of it. come heckle, come cheer, come for the spectacle. especially come if you're:
* a former high school track star with something to prove
* someone who "isn't really a runner"
* great at chugging, tragic at running
* great at running, tragic at chugging
* "training for a marathon" and calling this cross-training
* just here for the bit
Run it solo or grab a team and split the laps and beers between you… the rules are pending, you’ll be the first to know.
A very serious podium for the 1st place team (maybe even some serious cash…). an even more serious award for dead last.
We’re working our hardest to have a photo and video team capturing the whole spectacle so it can be digitally remembered. and sorting out an afterparty to follow.
Hit going + turn on notifications so you don't miss the drop. then invite the two friends you know would actually do this.
More soon — just get it on the calendar
