You bring your buds, we'll bring the suds!
The New Belgium Beer Mile presented by RunAbout Sports returns to Virginia's Blue Ridge Go Cross at Fallon Park!
Happening just after the elite cyclocross podiums on Saturday 9/26, this beer mile is a team relay race with 4 parts beer, 4 parts running, and NEW in 2026, 4 parts hobby cross (use your imagination ;) ).
This year's the costume theme is "GRATEFUL DEAD!"
It is HIGHLY recommended to come out in costume to warm up for the Beer Mile by cheering (& heckle) for the pros racing at 2:55 and 4:05 that day. Prizes will be provided by RunAbout Sports to the top team and for the team with the best costumes.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
The cost of the race is only $36 PER TEAM if you register by 9/14/26 at midnight and $40 PER TEAM after. Onsite registration will be available at the ID Check and Beer Tent until 4:30pm on race day. A minimum of two racers are required per team, and a maximum of four.
The race briefing will take place at 5:15pm at the RunAbout tent and it is mandatory for all runners.
This race will be held in the in-field of the course. The race will consist of 4 laps of ~1/4 mile each consisting of part running and part pixie biking. The beers will be 16 oz. pints of Fat Tire (NA beers and Root Beer available on prior request - email [email protected] by 5pm on 9/24).
