- If I don't qualify for the championship race, can I still participate?
Yes! We will have open beer mile heats on August 17 at the World Classic in the afternoon leading up to the championship races. Your registration for the open race also allows you to stick around to spectate the championship races later in the evening.
- What beer can I drink for the open beer mile race?
Your beer is included in your entry fee! NOTE: You are not permitted to bring your own beer for the open beer mile race.
- If I am coming to the World Classic just to spectate, do I need to register?
Yes, spectators must have purchased a ticket in order to get into the event. Capacity is limited, so get your tickets before they sell out!
- What all can I expect at the event itself?
You can expect draft beer from Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery, food, music, and the fastest beer milers you have ever witnessed!
- What can I bring into the event?
No outside food or alcohol will be allowed in, but you can bring in other fluids (e.g. water, Pedialyte, etc.) to stay hydrated. Bags will be checked upon arrival.
- I heard this bad boy is being live streamed, is that accurate?
It sure is. We have hired a professional production team to get this race in front of millions of eyeballs. So if you are racing: Smile — you're on camera! The races will be streamed on the Beer Mile Media YouTube channel.
- Can I help out and volunteer?
Yes please! Volunteers get free entry into the event, along with free merch, beer, and food. Select the volunteer option in the menu, fill out your information, and we will be in touch!
- I'm a media person and would like to cover the event.
Calling all journalists, photographers, videographers, TikTokers, you name it. Hit us up at worlds@beermile.com and we can provide you a media credential.
- I see some donation options. Tell me more.
Well aren't you quite philanthropic. It may be a shocker, but the beer mile isn't a well funded sport (yet). Beer milers pay to travel from around the world to this event in hopes of earning prize money and glory for their efforts. The Athlete Prize Fund goes straight toward increasing the prize pot for the championship race to ensure the athletes earn enough to cover their trip.
- Where is the beer mile world championship held each year?
The Beer Mile World Classic moves to a new location each year to spread beer mile love throughout the world. It has taken place in San Francisco, London (twice), Vancouver, Berlin, Manchester, Leuven, Chicago, and now Ontario!
