WHERE:
Atypical Brewery & Barrelworks

WHY:
We love running, dogs, and beer and we wanted turn those loves into a way to give back to the animal rescue organizations in our community.

This race is fun and social and is NOT a qualifier for the World Championship (yes that’s a real thing). 

EVENTS:

5k Run/Walk and Dog Jog – This is a traditional 5K event and will be timed.  You can run it as fast as you can or jog/walk it for fun.  Feel free to bring your dog with you as this event is “for the dogs”, but dogs are not required!  All human participants will get a signature Hair of the Dog mug as well as a free post run beer at Atypical.  

Beer Mile – Please join us for the 3rd annual Beer Mile!  4 Beers and a 1 Mile run! Here is how it is done..
     - Drink one full can of beer within the sectioned off Beer Zone on our course.
     - Run one loop of the 1/4 mile course. Simply follow the cones and back to the Beer Zone
     - You will repeat the above steps 3 more times.
     - If you "toss your cookies" (PLEASE use one of the garbage receptacles along the course for this purpose), you have to run a one lap penalty for this offense.
     **Thankfully you don't have to consume an extra beer, just run an additional 1/4 mile.

Does that sound like an impossible feat?  Get four friends and sign up for a Relay Team! 

** You will be required to show your driver’s license or proof of age. NO ID, NO RACE. NO EXCEPTIONS. All participants will be given a wrist bracelet that must be worn during the event.

All participants of the beer mile will get a signature Hair of the Dog mug as well as the four free Atypical beers used in the event.

Kids Donut Dash – A fun opportunity for the kids to get in on the action and for us to cheer them on!  This event is for children 12 and under and will require them to eat a donut quickly and then run 1/4 a mile. All participants will receive a Donut Dash participation medal. 

Wiener Dog Derby – All Dachshunds and Dachshund mixes welcome. If we have enough registered Dachshunds we will have age categories but otherwise the top 3 dogs win.  Each Dachshund should bring two human assistants, one to let them go when the race director yells “go” and one to stand on the other end of the lane bribing them with food or treats to get them to the other end the fastest.  Each dog participant will get a treat bag and custom race bandana to wear at the event.

Packet Pickup and Day of Registration:  
Packet pickup will be held Friday May 8th from 4:30-7:00pm at Atypical Brewery and Barrelworks as well as the morning of the event from 8:45-9:45am.  There will also be an additional beer mile packet pickup from 11-11:45 and a wiener dog check in from 1:30-2:00. Same day registration will be available for all events. Cash and credit cards accepted.

HAIR OF THE DOG BEER MILE RULES

1. Each competitor drinks four beers and runs four laps around our 400M loop (start with chugging a beer, then run a lap, then beer, then lap, then beer, then lap, then beer, then lap - finish).

2. Beer must be consumed before the lap begins within the transition area known as the BEER ZONE. The transition area is a 9-meter zone

3. Beer will be provided by Atypical Brewery.  All participants must be 21+. You will be required to show your driver’s license or proof of age. NO ID, NO RACE. NO EXCEPTIONS. All participants will be given a wrist bracelet that must be worn during the event.

4. The race begins with competitors lined up on the mile starting line, drinking the first beer in the transition zone described in the step above. Competitors can walk/move in the transition area while drinking, but all beer must be consumed in the transition area before setting off to run a lap.

5. Competitors may “"toss your cookies." There is a one loop penalty for this offense. Thankfully you don't have to consume an extra beer, just run an additional 1/4 mile. Vomiting more than once during the race still only requires one penalty lap at the end.

6. You must prove that all beer was sufficiently drank. This can be achieved by tipping the empty beer over your head after each chug to verify an empty vessel or by showing one of the beer tenders in the transition area and getting the thumbs up from them 
 

All Dachshunds and Dachshund mixes welcome.

Each dog participant will get a treat bag and custom colored race bandana to wear during the competition.  They will run in heats of 4-5 with the first 2 dogs in that heat to cross the finish line, moving on to the next round.

Where: Behind Atypical Brewery.

Awards: The top 3 dogs will get a prize.

WIENER DOG DERBY RULES

1. Owners must clean up after their dogs! Please bring along your own “clean-up” gear.

2. Each Dachshund should bring two human assistants, one to let them go when the race director yells “go” and one to stand on the other end of the lane bribing them with food or treats to get them to the other end the fastest.

3. You may use a toy or treat to entice the dog, but you must stay at each end until your dog comes to you! The toy or treat may not be thrown or tossed. No loud devices, laser pointers or anything that may be distracting to other dogs/owners.

4. You may NOT run along side the dog.

5. Your dog may step out of bounds but must re-enter and completely cross the finish line, within the boundaries, without being grabbed. If the dog is touched by the handler before completely crossing the finish line, the dog will be disqualified.

5. We reserve the right to disqualify any pet/owner for behavior deemed inappropriate.

6. ALL JUDGE’S DECISIONS ARE FINAL.

7. You MUST have FUN!
