• Time to Complete:

  30 minutes to an hour. Perhaps even less if you are speedy!
• Cost to Complete:

  $12-$15 for a six pack of beer. You only need five but your friends might as well toss a few back as they watch you inch to the finish line
• Punishment Location:

  The local high school track, or a (hopefully) flat route to run a mile

Instructions

• Step 1

  • Find a running track in your area, or identify a route where you can run your mile of hell.

• Step 2

  • Arrive at your destination. Identify where each ¼ mile marker is, and have a league member stationed there to be ready to hand you your refreshing beer of choice.

• Step 3

  • Ready, set, go! But wait…you must chug a beer before you start moving those legs. Down beer numero uno, and get moving!

• Step 4

  • Drink a beer at the 1/4. 1/2 , and 3/4 mile markers. Make sure you have a Beer Mile official (aka just one of your league mates) there to ensure that every last drop has been downed

• Step 5

  • Do your best to keep it all down, all that motion and all that liquid are not going to get along well

• Step 6

  • At the finish line, crack into beer number five! Perhaps your league will be there at the finish line to celebrate your run for the ages. Nice work, Usain Bolt!

• Ways to Spice it Up
  • The league chooses the specific beer the Loser will be slugging back - more generous leagues might let you off easy with a light beer, but if you’re not a well-liked Loser you might be forced to inhale a couple of IPAs.
  • For more extreme leagues, the league can also pick shots or full-on cocktails
