The Inaugural Skywalker Beer Mile Invitational

January 1st, 2016 By Grinder

Many PAX have talked and dreamed about it. For a lucky 7, this dream has now become a reality.

Rules

Each competitor drinks four beers and runs four laps.
Beer must be consumed before the lap is begun, within the transition area which is the 20 ft zone at the start/finish line.
The race begins with the drinking of the first beer in the last meter of the transition zone.
Competitors may drink canned or bottled beer that are at least 12oz.
No specialty cans or bottles may be used that give an advantage by allowing beer to pour at a faster rate. ie. “super mega mouth cans” or “wide mouth bottles” are prohibited.
Beer cans or bottles must not be tampered with in any manner, ie. no shotgunning or puncturing the can/ bottle except for opening the can/ bottle with the cap or tab at the top.
Beer must be a minimum of 5% alcohol by volume.
Each beer must not be opened until the competitor enters the transition zone on each lap.
Competitors who spill merlot before they finish the race mus complete one penalty lap at the end of the race (immediately after completion of their fourth lap)

Huge thanks to the Ms who helped with the logistics
We didn’t have a loop or track to run on so we improvised with a there and back route on the cart path with only minimal hills.
Merlot was spilled multiple times, first by YHC. Let it be know that a sushi dinner prior to the race is a very very bad idea.
That was much harder than I expected, those last couple beers were hard to get down.
Stagecoach takes the virtual trophy with a time of 11:46, no merlot spilled. Tclaps brother, you have set the bar for us.
This was the first of many beer miles to come, hope to have a bigger pax next time around.
This was nothing short of CSAUP and one of the most fun runs I have ever done.
