Bull City Beer Mile

🍻 Race Overview

The Glass Jug Beer Lab and Bull City Running Co. are proud to present the 4th annual Bull City Beer Mile on Saturday, April 26, 2025 in Downtown Durham's Central Park.

🏃‍♂️ What is a Beer Mile?

A 1-mile drinking race combining running and speed drinking. Typically, the race takes place on a 1/4-mile running track (flat). We will be running around Central Park (not flat!). The race begins with the consumption of a 12-oz beer (RUN DRM lager brewed by The Glass Jug Beer Lab), followed by a 1/4 mile lap around the park. The second lap continues similarly: another 12-oz beer is consumed before commencing the running of the second lap. This process is repeated for the next two laps. Following the completion of the fourth beer and fourth running lap, you will cross the finish line!

• Age Requirement: Competitors must be 21 years old or older.
• Relay Options: There are 2-person and 4-person relay competition options!
• Participant Perks: Every participant or team receives four 12-ounce beers and additional goodies for the first 300 registrants.
• Swag Add-Ons: Check out optional Beer Mile swag like t-shirts, hats, and more!

🏅 Awards

The top 3 individual men and women, as well as the fastest 4-person and 2-person relay teams, will receive huge Bull City Beer Mile medals that double as bottle openers, plus a prize pack from Hoka, the official shoe brand of the Bull City Beer Mile!

🎉 Party in the Park

This is more than just a race...it's a party! With heats running from 2:30pm until 4:45pm, and the party going until 7, we’ll have DJ Gummy keeping things popping, with two food trucks on site, and, of course, The Glass Jug mobile beer trailer parked in Durham Central Park providing all the refreshments!

• Support: Runners and spectators are encouraged to hang out in the park to cheer on the runners.
• After-Party: Continues in the park until 7:00pm with The Glass Jug taproom open until 12:00am.
• Food Trucks: Gator on the Grill and more TBA soon!
