Move Free Whoopie Mile
The Move Free Whoopie Mile combines short laps with eating a whoopie pie each quarter mile. Organizers supply the whoopies and each 0.25 mile lap requires eating one whole whoopie before the next lap begins. Vomiting during the event leads to disqualification.
The event includes multiple participation formats:
- Solo Mile: 4 loops (1 mile) and 4 whoopies
- Relay: 4 loops (1 mile), 4 whoopies, teams of 2 to 4
- Solo Endurance: repeat 1 lap and 1 whoopie each time; each lap must be under ten minutes to count
Individual participants may enter both the Solo Mile and Solo Endurance divisions. Competitors run the first mile and eat the first four whoopies as fast as they choose, then continue to attempt additional laps in the endurance division.
The 0.25 mile loop is on the College of the Atlantic campus and the Eden Street sidewalk near the Whale Skull at the main entrance. About half the loop surface is pavement and half is gravel. The course has minimal elevation. The whoopie eating transition zone is located near the Whale Skull. Parking is available on campus and the area is walkable from town.
Prizes include the title of Move Free Whoopie Mile World Champion until the next event and awards for top team names, costumes, and other categories. The event records include a Solo Mile best time of 10 minutes 18 seconds (2024), a Relay best time of 7 minutes 8 seconds (2026), and a Solo Endurance best of 7 laps (2024).
