    ๐Ÿ๐Ÿบ Welcome to the Annual Cottonmouth Beerlay! ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ

    Run fast. Drink hard. Donโ€™t get bit.

    What do you get when you combine trail running, random beers, and your most competitive (and possibly least coordinated) friends? The Cottonmouth Beerlay, baby! This wild race at the beautiful Lakewood Nature Preserve is back for another year of glorious chaos, beer-fueled miles, and unforgettable memories.

    You can run it solo if you're a one-person party machine, or grab a few beer-loving buddies and tackle it as a relay team of 2โ€“4. Either way, you're in for 8 miles of pure, ridiculous fun.

    Are you fast enough to outrun the Cottonmouth? Or will the beer bite first?

    ๐Ÿพ How It Works:

    Each lap is a 2-mile trail loop through the preserve. Youโ€™ll do it 4 times total.

    Before every lap, runners must consume a randomly-selected beer from the BYOB community pool

    Solo runners do it all themselves. Relay teams tag in one runner per lap.

    ๐Ÿป 21+ only for the drinking portion, of course. Minors and Sober folks may run with non-alcoholic alternatives but must be carbonated.

    ๐ŸงŠ BYOB Russian Roulette (a Cottonmouth Classic)

    Each runner brings 4 beers (5%+ ABV), which are tossed into our giant iced community kitty pool.

    When it's your turn to run, a volunteer will hand you a mystery brew, already cracked and poured.

    You drink it, you run it. Deal with the consequences.

    No swapping. No peeking. No mercy.

    Non Alcoholic Drinks are of course permitted. We love sobriety but we just haven't practiced it yet! ๐Ÿ˜‚

    ๐Ÿ† Post-Race Beer Olympics

    The party definitely doesnโ€™t stop at the finish line.
