Spirit's 5K & Beer Mile benefiting MANNA HOUSE

About the event

Benefiting Manna House

Get ready to lace up your sneakers and join us for the 27th Annual Spirit's 5K & Beer Mile – where fitness meets fun! This year's race starts and finishes at Spirits, taking you on a scenic sprint through the stunning Historic Garden District.

But wait, there's more! After you cross that finish line, stick around for an epic finishing party complete with delicious food, refreshing drinks, and amazing fellowship with your favorite people. Whether you're running for speed or running for the party (we don't judge!), this is the event you won't want to miss.

Packet Pickup will be at Spirits on Race Day (Saturday) from 12:00 pm to 1:45 pm. 1 mile starts at 2 pm, 5K at 2:00, with a beer mile to follow at 3 pm.

What is a Beer Mile? The concept is simple: a beer every quarter mile for 1 mile. Sounds easy? Not quite. The race will start at Spirits and finish four beers later with a heart-pounding sprint to the finish. If you are feeling courageous, you can sign up for both races at a discounted rate.

Beer Mile Rules

1. Each competitor drinks four beers and runs four quarter laps.
2. Beer must be consumed before the lap is begun, within the transition area which is the 10 meter zone before the start/finish line on a 400m track.
3. The race begins with the drinking of the first beer in the last meter of the transition zone to ensure the competitors run a complete mile (1609 meters).
4. Women also drink four beers in four laps (past rule lists only required ladies to drink three beers).
5. Beer must be a minimum of 5% alcohol. Beer will be provided by Huckleberry Brewery.
6. Each beer can must not be opened until the competitor enters the transition zone on each lap.
7. Competitors who puke before they finish the race must complete one penalty lap at the end of the race (immediately after the completion of their 4th lap). Note: Puking more than once during the race still requires only one penalty lap at the end.
