The Beer Mile
The GAF Beer Mile is the area’s official Beer Mile event held at the German American Festival in Oregon, Ohio. Participants in the main event run a total of 1 mile while consuming four beers. A mini mile option offers a half mile distance with two beers. Race entry includes the event beers, a t shirt, and festival entry.
The course is approximately a quarter mile loop through the festival. Drinking and running alternate: each beer is consumed in the transition zone before the lap begins. Key course rules specify canned beer of at least 355 ml (12 oz) and a minimum of 5% alcohol by volume. The event will use Labatt beer. Competitors must not use modified containers that speed pouring and may not puncture or shotgun cans; cans must be opened by the tab. If a competitor vomits before finishing, they must complete one penalty lap immediately after their final lap.
Packet pickup is at 3624 Seaman Road, Oregon, OH 43616. Additional course map and rules are provided by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
