El Ultimo Desmadre Beer Mile

El Ultimo Desmadre Beer Mile is held in Alamo, Texas, on December 12, 2026. The single format is 1 Mile (1.6 km), starting at 4:00 PM. As the name says, this is a beer mile, the format in which laps on the track alternate with beers rather than being run straight through.

That makes it a very different proposition from a normal mile. Raw running speed matters far less than how quickly and comfortably you can drink between laps, and going out hard is usually punished rather than rewarded. Anyone trying it for the first time should treat the pacing conservatively and accept that the clock is not the point. A late-afternoon start gives you the whole day to think better of it, and plenty of participants come for the spectacle as much as for the result. Arrange a ride home before you start.
