Incline Beer Mile

We've talked about doing this FOREVER, and we're finally going to throw down.  Saturday, September 8th, 11AM.  BYOB.  Same rules as a normal beer mile, though our course is a little harder.  $10,000 bonus to anyone who breaks Nick Symmonds's new American record of 5:19.

Beer number one at the first railroad tie.

Beer number two at the No Trespassing sign.

Beer number three at the Barr Trail bail point (halfway up).

Beer number four at the false summit.

Special rules, courtesy of Paul D:


Rule Addendum:
In event of a "reversal of fortune" runner must go back to the bottom (if you puke in first half) or back to Barr Trail Bail out (if you puke in top half).

Rule Addemdum Part 2:
If you puke on a tourist no penality at all.

No beer at the summit itself?

And do we have to carry our own beers or can we have a pacer? Also can I smoke a cigar during the ascent and if I do, are there any special points for doing that?

We are using official beer mile rules, so once you cross the finish line your time ends. No rules prohibit bring extra beer for the top though.

Absolutely no pacers, I feel like a tool for even having to address that. In fact, if you don't plan on drinking, please give us the courtesy of now showing up to this event. We'd like to keep it as low key as possible.
