🌭🍺 THE GROG & DOG RELAY 🍺🌭
Run. Chug. Chew. Repeat.
Get ready for the most absurdly fun race of the year! The Groggin Dog Relay combines speed, teamwork, and questionable nutritional decisions into one unforgettable event.
📍 Infint Ale Works at Midtown Station, with the run course looping around Tuskawilla Park. Most Laps and dogs in 40 minutes.
📅 Saturday, February 21st
Race start: 4 PM
🏃♂️🌭🍺 Race Format (How It Works)
This is a relay race completed by teams of 2-4 runners..
A team member will complete one leg consisting of:
Run 1 mile around the park
Eat 1 hot dog
Drink 1 beer
Only after completing all three may the runner tags the next teammate and try to finish as many grogs, dogs, and miles in 40 minutes.
The final runner finishes the last mile, eats, drinks, and crosses the finish line to glory.
⏱Longest distance accomplished wins. If you are solo, we’ll find you teammates or you can attempt the feat of strength!!
