    Do you like to run? Do you like to drink beer? If you answered yes to either question, then you are going to love this!

    The 2nd annual Beer mile presented by the Lumberyard in Clinton, SC will be the most fun you've ever had running a mile. Gather your friends to form a squad for the relay option or if you are bold enough, try the solo challenge. Whichever you choose will surely be a blast!

    Solo Challenge: The route is simple it's a quarter mile loop beginning and ending at the Lumberyard. The only catch is you must drink a beer before you begin your loop. 4 Beers, 4 Loops, that equals a beer mile. These rules apply to the solo challenge, the team relay on the other hand don't get off so easy.

    Team Relay: Same route different rules. The teams will consist of 4 runners. Each runner must drink a beer run a loop, drink another beer before the next runner can begin their beer,loop,beer. So, simply stated for the relay teams each runner will run 1/4 mile and drink 2 beers. Sounds like a good time to me.

    The best part about this race is you can either be the faster runner or the faster chugger, both skills are needed to have the edge! If you are neither, sign up for the T-shirt and beer and enjoy the laughs!

    Be sure to register before April 5th to guarantee your legendary, one-of-a-kind Lumberyard Beer Mile T-Shirt!

    MUST BE 21 TO ENTER!!!!!!!

    PLEASE PLAN FOR A DESIGNATED DRIVER OR SAFE RIDE HOME!!!! We want to make this event fun and safe, so don't be the one who ruins it for everyone else!
