Boards Beer Mile 2015, June 13th
Options
-
09-04-2015 9:43am#1Ladies and Gentlemen- It's that time of year again. The date for the 3rd annual Irish Beer Mile Championships is provisionally Saturday, June 13th at 6pm. The National Beer Mile track in Kilbogget park is once again the venue.
Threads for the previous two years events can be seen here and here
A video (thanks to emer911) from last years event can be viewed here
Rules (below) will be the same as the last two years. For more information on beer mile rules and information in general see beermile.com
4 laps.
1 12 oz beer per lap..
Must be at least 5 % ABV.
Puking means a penalty lap.
You must be over 18.
You must acknowledge that drinking 4 beers and running a mile is an irresponsible thing to do, but it's just a bit of juvenile fun.
Fancy dress is permitted.
Competitors must remain clothed during the event
Compeptitors are asked not to fill up on beans and eggs before the event.
We generally meet up run the beer mile then head off for some post race refreshments. Like last year we will head somewhere in Dublin city centre, so that it's not an ordeal for most people to get home.
As usual there will be complaints about the location, date, timing etc. I've just bitten the bullet and gone all dictator like. Apologies if it doesn't suit you and if there is significant descent I'll consider executing you all changing the date.
Last year we had no female competitors (we had 2 the first year). It would be great if a few ladies would like to come along and give this a bash.
If you're interested please PM me. Alternatively if you're a lurker with no boards.ie account email me on beermile2015@gmail.com32

Definitely not. And most of those aren't 5% anyway.
Yes there are plenty of 12oz cans, you just may need to invest in some more expensive stuff (hence Meno risking slicing his hand off in a bag of broken glass last year
) 0 -

Genius BG, genius...only we'll have to take time out from our 'vodka and Valium 10k' training... :eek:0 -
Cans of Sierra Nevada FTW. 12 Oz, 5.6% Tasty beer too.
EDIT: Just make sure you don't get the Torpedo.
I drank those last year. Not beer mile material imo. Tasty beer but not great for chugging. No need to go above the 5% anyway as you're only handicapping yourself.Bit of a waste Adrian, but yeah, I am pretty sure Dogslysmile powered his way to 3rd place drinking that last year.
DSS was 5th last year, just losing out in a sprint finish for 4th to KU. I remember it well as both of them lapped me on their second last bend.0 -

Yeah, I was the Mexican.
I was expecting more fancy dress as per the 2013 Beermile https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B95oaZ5iI1ZeTEVfVkJNVVVLcUk/edit
We had a pirate, a nun, a hooker and a zombie for that one!!0 -

yep for sure, if you can somehow get standard measures (250 ml maybe?) then it could be a good alternative to those who can't stomach beer. Will be deemed a separate event though and won't be eligible for the champions league style trophy we have for the beer mile.0 -

I've been lurking recently, due to continual pissed-offedness about a niggly hamstring that won't bastárding heal, but I'm officially stating my intention to have this as my first outdoor race this year.
I ran an unofficial 7:40-ish in 2013, so I'm looking to go under that at the very least.
Now, back to lurking until my leg works. (pray for me
