Hosted by 3RUN7 and Bravo Construction, the inaugural Veteran Beer Mile brings the community together to race in honor of those who served.
Twenty percent of net event proceeds will support Venture Vets and its work investing in veteran and military-connected founders building solutions across construction, industrial technology, and the built environment.
Participants must be 21 or older. Valid ID required.
What to Expect
Your ticket includes entry into the 2026 Veteran Beer Mile and an official event T-shirt.
OPEN MILe 9:00 AM
Each athlete will complete four 400-meter laps and drink four 12-ounce non-alcoholic beers provided by AthleticBrewing at the beginning of EACH lap.
The race begins with athletes finishing their first beer before starting Lap 1. Before each following lap, athletes must finish another beer. The race is complete once all four beers have been finished and all four laps have been completed.
The event will consist of four heats, with 20–25 athletes competing in each heat on the outdoor track. While automatic timing will not be available, each finisher’s time will be recorded and compared across all four heats to determine the fastest athlete of the day.
4×400 RELAY 11:30 AM
Each relay team will consist of four athletes, with each athlete completing one 400-meter lap and drinking one 12-ounce non-alcoholic beer provided by AthleticBrewing at the beginning of the lap.
The first athlete must finish their beer before beginning their lap. After completing 400 meters, they will tag the next teammate, who must finish their beer before starting. This continues until all four athletes have completed their leg of the relay and all four beers completed.
A portion of proceeds will be donated to local veteran partners, including Venture Vets, to support the people and organizations serving those who served. Beer Mile participants must be 21+ and present a valid ID at check-in.
Spectators of all ages are welcome with adult supervision.
