The Periwinkle Beer Mile Fundraiser Event

The Periwinkle Beer Mile Fundraiser Event takes place on April 10, 2027 in Beaufort, North Carolina, with a 4:00 p.m. start. The distance is a single mile (1.6 km), and the event is run as a fundraiser.

A beer mile is its own discipline, and the running is only half the problem — the format asks you to alternate drinking and hard laps, which is a very different challenge from a straight mile. The runners who do well are rarely the fastest ones; they are the ones who have practiced the drinking half and can settle their stomach quickly before running again. Preparation, if you want to take it seriously, means a few rehearsals rather than a training block. And with a late-afternoon start, keep the day's eating light and finish your last real meal several hours before you line up.
