Why: Test your ability to chug, run, and avoid gastrointestinal pyrotechnics.
Awards will be given to the top 3 males and females.
How: Review the official Beer Mile rules at http://www.beermile.com/.
Obviously, these rules will be modified slightly to accommodate the tow-path.
The Beer Mile is BYO beer!!!
The organizers won’t have extra if you forget. Select a beer that has at least 5% ABV and bring 4 bottles/cans with you to the event (more if you think you need to, um, practice).
NOTE: We’ll be scoping out some places to buy takeout beer nearby and post an update shortly, in case any of you half-minds forget.
Show up at 7:30 PM to "register" and have your beverage choice approved; we’ll assign you a heat. Warm up or just stand around and look stupid until it’s your turn to chug and run. And try not to vomit, please.
How to get there:
Main & Cotton Street is just a few short blocks from the Manayunk Train Station where you can take the Septa Norristown Line. Schedule here.
You can also drive, ride a bike along Kelly or MLK Drive to Main Street, take the #61 bus to Main & Cotton, or take the #9 or #27 bus to Wissahickon Transfer Center and enjoy a stroll down Main Street to Cotton.
