Move Free Moxie Mile : Bar Harbor, Maine
The Move Free Moxie Mile is held on a 0.25 mile loop on the College of the Atlantic campus and the Eden Street sidewalk in Bar Harbor. The loop surface is approximately half pavement and half gravel and has minimal elevation. The transition zone for drinking is located near the campus Whale Skull at the main entrance. Parking is available on campus or within walking distance from town.
The event supplies cans of Moxie. For each 0.25 mile lap, participants must finish one full can before the next lap starts; pouring a can on the head is accepted as proof. Vomiting results in disqualification.
Distances and divisions include:
- Solo Mile Division - 4 loops (1 mile) and 4 Moxie cans
- Relay Division - 4 loops (1 mile) with 2 to 4 team members
- Solo Endurance Division - repeat 0.25 mile laps with one can per lap
Solo Endurance laps must be completed in under ten minutes each to remain eligible. Participants may enter both the Solo Mile and the Solo Endurance divisions; the first mile is run and drunk as a single effort, then endurance continues.
Prizes are to be determined, with awards planned for champions and for top team names and costumes. Moxie is also described as one of America’s first carbonated soft drinks, created in 1876, and as a noun meaning courageous spirit and determination.
