Description

Braxton Brewing Co. and Road iD invite you to the 1st Annual Braxton's Seltzer Sprint!

What is a seltzer mile, you ask? The rules are simple. Four Seltzers. Four Laps. One Mile.

This event is for runners of all levels and we encourage all to participate! All waves are equal and time is recorded and prizes are awarded to best time overall two waves.

Are you up for the challenge this year?? Need more incentive? All participants will run on a safe/closed/marked course with chip timing and of course - Braxton Brewing cold seltzers to drink along the way. After the race, runners will also receive a free pint (to enjoy at your own pace) and a slice of pizza to top it off. Stick around for the after party at Braxton!

T-shirts are part of registration if you register by 4/15/2022

May 27th will be the rain date if event is cancelled due to severe weather.

RULES:
 
1) Each competitor drinks four cans of seltzer and runs four laps (course will be marked) (start - seltzer, then lap, then seltzer, then lap, then seltzer, then lap, then seltzer, then lap - finish).
2) Seltzer must be consumed before the lap is begun, within the transition area.
3) The race begins with the drinking of the first seltzer in the last meter of the transition zone to ensure the competitors run a complete mile (1609 meters).
4) Seltzer cans must not be tampered with in any manner, ie. no shotgunning or puncturing of the can except for opening the can by the tab at the top. No straws or other aids are allowed in order to aid in the speed of pouring.
5) Seltzer must be a minimum of 5% alcohol by volume. 
6) Each Seltzer can must not be opened until the competitor enters the transition zone on each lap.
7) The Seltzer Sprints are not an Officially Sanctioned Beer Mile event.
8) If you have not completed your fourth seltzer and began your last quarter mile lap by 30 minutes after your wave has started you will be removed from the course to allow staff to prepare for the next wave.
