What to Expect

Ever wished running and craft beer had an adorable, chaotic baby? This is it. Lace up your sneakers and warm up your liver because it's time for the Beer Mile: every lap starts with a beer and ends with you questioning your life choices (just kidding, it’s not that bad).

• Format: Run 1 mile (4 laps). Drink a beer or non-alcoholic beer before each lap.
• Activity: Run, cheer, and help support youth athletes!
• All Skill Levels: Welcome! Walkers with beer (or NA beer) are highly encouraged!
• Charity: All proceeds go to Gainesville Area Rowing Club.

Details of the Event

4 beers plus 4 laps equals 1 mile of glorious chaos. Drink it, run it, repeat it. Best pace? We don't care. Most laughs? Guaranteed. Support local youth sports and a nonprofit? Definitely.

Boats aren’t cheap. Oars don’t buy themselves. Rowers need your help (and you need a beer or 4). This event directly supports local youth athletes who are grinding on the lake every day. The Gainesville Area Rowing Club (GAR) provides incredible opportunities for young rowers to develop discipline, teamwork, and athletic skills, but the sport requires significant equipment and resources.

• Community Impact: Your participation helps make rowing accessible to more young people in our community.
• Competitive Edge: Our local rowing club is highly competitive at both state and national levels.
• Past Achievements: One of our boats took silver at nationals!
