MSH Run Club BEER MILE CHALLENGE

Saturday, March 14 @ 11am

Matthews Social House

105 W. Charles St

Matthews, NC 28105

The MSH Run Club’s BEER MILE CHALLENGE is back just in time to kick off St. Patrick's Day weekend on Saturday, March 14 @ 11am.

You don’t want to miss this classic race challenge and enjoy bragging rights with your friends and assorted strangers.

For the low price of $12 registration you get the requisite 4 cans of Labatt Blue beer required to participate in the 1 MILE race loop around the block at Matthews Social House. Additionally, you will also have the option to purchase an event t-shirt during registration for an additional $16.

For those not yet initiated in this classic albeit insane little run challenge, you consume (chug really) a 12oz can of Labatt’s beer, hold said empty can over your head to prove consumption, then race a quarter mile (your mileage may vary if you stumble), return to starting line and repeat the process for a total of 4 beers and 1 Mile.

Can you chug & run?

Registration gets you a Race BIB and the 4 cans of Labatt beer.

The BIBS and entry will be confirmed on RACE day so arrive no later than 10:45am Saturday, 3/14 to get your BIB and ready yourself for the race.

The very cold beer will be dispensed at the start and at each quarter mile you complete by our specially trained Beer Mile Challenge professionals.

    Pride Starts Here: Charlotte's Official Pride Season Kickoff 5K

    Pride doesn’t just happen - it’s built and sustained by our community.

    For the first time, our annual QFW5K proudly benefits the Carolinas' largest Pride organization, the group that brings together LGBTQ+ people and allies from across the region and beyond for a celebration rooted in visibility, advocacy, and belonging, Charlotte Pride.

    This event is the official kickoff to our Pride season. Before the flags fly, before the Festival begins, and before August arrives, we come together to take the first step.

    This QFW 5K is for runners, walkers, families, allies, and anyone who believes Pride deserves to thrive. Every step directly supports the organization that makes Pride possible in Charlotte.

    Pride is a movement.

    So, let's move!

    Join us and help start Pride the way it should begin - moving forward, together.
