The Eastern Dutchess Road Runners Club hosts a Beer Mile event where participants run and drink beer in a structured sequence. Competitors must bring their own beer, adhering to specific rules about consumption, type, and volume. Participants are required to arrive with designated drivers, who are prohibited from drinking during the event. There are different categories based on alcohol content and alternative options for non-drinkers. The race is held at Lakeside Drive in Pawling, NY, with strict guidelines for alcohol handling and cleanup. Pre-registration and signed waivers are necessary, as there are no race day sign-ups.
