Rules

1. Each competitor will drink (4) cans of beer and run (4) ¼ mile laps. (Start – drink a beer, then lap, then beer, then lap, then beer, then lap, then beer, then lap – finish)

2. The beer must be consumed entirely before the lap has begun. The beer should be consumed in the transition zone located at the beginning of the course. Since this race will not be held on a static course it will be up to the runner to identify an adequate transition zone.

3. Runners must drink canned or bottled beer no less than 12 fluid ounces.

4. It is recommended that the runners drink the beer supplied by Hoof Hearted Brewing (Heartbreaking Motordrive). However, if Heartbreaking Motordrive is not available at the time of the race or there are dietary restrictions, then a suitable replacement will be accepted. The beer must be a minimum of 5% alcohol by volume. Hard Ciders or Lemonades are not permitted.

5. Each beer should not be opened until the competitor enters the transition zone on each lap.

6. It is requested that after chugging each beer, the competitor should tip the empty can or bottle over their head to ensure the vessel is empty.

7. If the competitor vomits during the race at any point, a penalty lap should be done at the conclusion of the 4th lap. Note – only one penalty lap is required regardless of how many times the competitor vomits.
