The Carlsbad Beer Mile (Draft)

Join us for the 6th Annual-ish Carlsbad Beer Mile on January 19th, 2025 in beautiful Carsbad, California! As always, all of the proceeds will go to charity. This year we are partnering with www.HoppCantStop.com and making our donation to Monarch Schools – providing homeless youth with access to education and support.

This event is co-hosted by Daniel Shamburg (www.theenduranceathlete.net) and San Diego Premier Training (https://sandiegopremiertraining.com/) 

What Is The Beer Mile?

Running and beer go together like peanut butter and jelly. Runners often celebrate their runs and races with a cold brew or two. Why wait until after the race to enjoy a beer?

4 beers, 4 laps.

The official Kingston Rules (described in detail at beermile.com) were first standardized in 1990 by a group of Canadian runners, including the World Classic co-founder John Markell.

A few fundamentals: 12 oz, 5% ABV beers, any “emesis” results in a one lap penalty.

The beer mile started as an underground event and has evolved into international competitions.

Race Info

We will have several divisions. Solo and Team in person as well as Solo and Team virtual. Teams can be comprised of 2 runners. All runners will receive a Carlsbad Beer Mile swag.

There is no requirement, rules or pressure to drink any of the beers on course or in the post party area. Runners who choose not to drink beer still must drink 12oz of water.

All participants are required to provide their own designated driver or other ride service. NO EXCEPTIONS.
