RACE COURSE
WHAT IS A BEER MILE?
Runners will start by drinking a can of beer in the start area and throwing the empty can in the recycling bin. Then they will run once around the 400 meter loop. Runners must drink the second can of beer in the start area before proceeding around the second loop. Then the third beer, the third loop, the fourth beer and then the final loop to finish the race. BYOB, please.

AWARDS
No awards, just bragging rights that you actually did a Beer Mile. However we appreciate hard work. So every runner who finishes gets a complimentary glass of hard cider in the distillery for their effort.
ABSOLUTELY FREE
Yes, it’s absolutely free to run, but we might need you to sign a waiver for insurance purposes. It’s a busy time of year on the farm, so parking will be tight; please consider carpooling. Bring your trail running shoes, because the ground is uneven. There will be a time clock but this is not a competitive race. Post race dance party in the Harvest Spirits Cocktail Garden. No birthday gifts for Derek necessary, but a hug is welcome.
QUESTIONS
Call the Distillery at 518-758-1776, or text-message Derek at 518-253-5917 or email him at derekgrout@gmail.com
