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).
- Drinks: Drink a beer or non-alcoholic beer before each lap.
- Support: Run, cheer, and help support youth athletes!
- Inclusivity: All skill levels welcome.
The Details
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.
- Encouragement: Walkers with beer (or NA beer) are highly encouraged!
- Proceeds: All Proceeds go to Gainesville Area Rowing Club.
- Goal: Make rowing accessible to more young people in our community.
- Achievements: Our local rowing club is highly competitive, with one of our boats taking silver at nationals!
Why We’re Doing This
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.
- Opportunities: The Gainesville Area Rowing Club (GAR) provides incredible opportunities for young rowers.
- Character Building: Develop discipline, teamwork, and athletic skills.
- Resources: Your participation helps provide necessary equipment.
- Community Impact: Help make a real difference for local youth rowing.
Fun Rules
Must be 21+ with ID required. For this event, beer beats water. Spectators should cheer wildly and take video for "remember when?" stories.
- Participation: Come out and have a blast!
- Support: Help support an amazing cause.
- Memories: You will have one of the most memorable Saturday afternoons of the year.
- Cheering: Whether you’re running or cheering from the sidelines, your support matters!
