Root Beer Mile at East River Park track
The Whippets Root Beer Mile, originally scheduled for September 16, has been RESCHEDULED to November 18.
This workout will take place AFTER our regular Thursday night track workout.
In a Beer Mile, competitors drink a can of beer, then run a quarter mile, then repeat three more times so that they ingest 48 ounces of liquid and cover 5280 feet of track. See full description here: http://www.beermile.c...
A Root Beer Mile is a non-alcoholic version of the same. When bought in bulk, the cost per competitor is around $3. If you want to do this with REAL beer, or some other carbonated beverage, please bring your own (4 cans, minimum 12 ounces).
Please RSVP here if you're in!

Don't think I can drink that much even if it's root beer but I'll bring a camera and watch..

ATTENTION beer mile athletes! A number of North Brooklyn Runners will be joining us at this event on September 16. Make sure you RSVP here and either bring $3 (for root beer) or bring four 12-ounce cans of your own beer, alcoholic or otherwise. Should be fun!
