Clove Hitch Oktoberfest Beer Mile presented by Fleet Feet Jacksonville
The event takes place at Clove Hitch in Jacksonville, North Carolina on 09/25/2026 and serves as the opener to Oktoberfest weekend at the venue. Two gender-designated one mile events are listed: a Men's Beer/Chocolate Mile and a Women's Beer/Chocolate Milk Mile. Registration opened on 06/08/2026, closes on 09/25/2026, and the registration fee is $30.00.
The format is a traditional beer mile: four 12 oz beverages and four laps to total one mile. Competitors must drink their beverage before beginning each lap. The same sequence is repeated four times, and the first runner to finish four laps with four fully consumed beverages is the winner and receives a finisher stein.
Costumes are not required and are encouraged; examples mentioned include dirndls, lederhosen, and novelty items such as giant foam pretzels. The event description notes an Oktoberfest theme with music and tapped beers, and frames the race as the start of the weekend festivities at Clove Hitch.
