Sports City Beer/Cider/Seltzer Mile : Buffalo, NY
The Sports City Beer/Cider/Seltzer Mile is a one-mile event on public sidewalks and parking lot paths in Buffalo on November 29, 2026. Competitors alternate drinking and running: each participant consumes four 355 ml beer, cider, or seltzer beverages (minimum 5% ABV) and completes four quarter-mile laps for a total of one mile.
Beverages must be consumed in the designated drinking area before each lap begins. Competitors may walk or move within the drinking area while consuming a drink, but all containers must be finished there prior to setting off. Cans and bottles must not be tampered with; actions such as shotgunning, puncturing, squeezing, using straws, or other pouring aids are prohibited. The only permitted opening methods are using the can tab or twisting off a bottle cap.
The course follows sidewalks and parking lots; running in the road is not encouraged and is allowed only when necessary. The event is open to participants aged 21 and older, subject to age verification at the event. Registration opens on June 29, 2026 and closes on November 29, 2026; the registration fee is $25. Organizers recommend arranging safe transportation home, such as a designated driver, after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
