For those who do not drink beer, the Beverage of Choice Mile allows any drink, such as non-alcoholic beer, kombucha, cream soda, or seltzer. Participants must bring their own four drinks.

The Koby Pederson Memorial Cigarette 400 is a 400m race where participants finish a cigarette while running a single lap.
