Durham Central Park, Durham NC
Saturday, April 25th, 2026
The Glass Jug Beer Lab and Bull City Running Co are proud to present the 5th annual Bull City Beer Mile on Saturday, April 25, 2026 in Downtown Durham's Central Park.
A 1-mile drinking race combining running and speed drinking. Typically, the race takes place on a 1/4-mile running track (flat). We will be running around Central Park (not flat!). The race begins with the consumption of a 12-oz beer (RUN DRM lager brewed by The Glass Jug Beer Lab), followed by a 1/4 mile lap around the park. The second lap continues similarly: another 12-oz beer is consumed before commencing the running of the second lap. This process is repeated for the next two laps. Following the completion of the fourth beer and fourth running lap, you will cross the finish line!
This is more than just a race...it's a party! With heats running from 2:30 PM until 5 PM, the party will continue until 6:30 PM. We’ll have DJ Gummy keeping things popping, with food available on site, and The Glass Jug mobile beer trailer parked in Durham Central Park, providing all the refreshments!
Parking will be available at the Durham Center Parking Garage at the corner of Foster and W Morgan St., as well as at the Farmer's Market lot on Morris Street.
Please drink and run responsibly!
