Bull City Beer Mile

The Bull City Beer Mile is a one mile drinking race held in Durham Central Park in Durham, NC. The event pairs four running laps around the park with the consumption of four 12 oz beers brewed by The Glass Jug Beer Lab. The course follows paths around Central Park and is described as not flat.

Events include an individual competition and team relays for two-person and four-person teams. Competitors must be 21 years old or older. Every participant or team receives the four 12 oz beers used in the race; the first 300 registrants also receive a Beer Mile headband, a cooling towel, and a sticker.

Prizes are awarded to the top three individual men and women and to the fastest two-person and four-person relay teams. Winners receive Bull City Beer Mile medals that double as bottle openers and a prize pack from Hoka. Optional add-ons are available for additional merchandise such as t-shirts, quick-dry hats, socks, and glassware.

The event includes on-site food, a mobile beer trailer operated by The Glass Jug, and a DJ. Parking is available at the Durham Center Parking Garage at Foster and W Morgan Street and at the Farmer's Market lot on Morris Street. Participants are asked to drink and run responsibly.
