Beer milers around the globe took to tracks near them and and carried the Beer Mile torch with valour and pride.

WAIT…. WTF IS A VIRTUAL BEER MILE??

A beer mile consists of running… or walking… or crawling four 400 meter laps

THE CATCH: you must drink one beer before commencing each and every lap. 4 beers x 4 laps = 1 beer mile.

Official Vancouver Beer Mile Rules – www.vancouverbeermile.com/rules

With a virtual beer mile you complete your beer mile (or as many laps as you can) at a time and place of your choosing, then send in your results to claim your ultimate glory!

  • Find Your Loop

    Find a 400 meter loop somewhere near you! Maybe it’s an empty track, or loops around a haunted warehouse. Maybe it’s 50 laps of your own balcony, do what feels right!

  • Get Beer

    Go grab yourself 4 of your favourite beers (355ml and 5% of higher ABV to conform to official beer mile rules!)

  • Complete Your Beer Mile

    On March 17, 18, 19, 20, or 21 show up to your 400 meter loop. Start your watch and drink a beer, then run a lap. Drink another beer, then run another lap. Drink yet another beer, run another lap. Drink one final beer, then run a lap. Stop your watch, you are victorious!

    Remember to run a penalty lap if you can’t keep the beer down mid race!

  • Upload Your Results

    Upload your results and become immortalized in the Virtual Vancouver Beer Mile Hall of Fame!

HOW MUCH IS REGISTRATION?

If you have to ask, you probably can’t afford it….

We asked our team of lawyers what all of this is worth, and they told us that an entry to Virtual Vancouver Beer Mile

IS WORTH ABOUT $1,972.84

Our first thought?

Wow… that’s incredible value!

But, instead of pricing this event at $1,972.84 we have decided to stay true to the Beer Mile code and keep all Virtual Vancouver Beer Mile entries pay what you want.

That’s right, pay what you want! The cost of entering VVBM is whatever you think Beer Mile is worth to you

So, it’s up to you whether you decide to contribute a reasonable $1,972.84, or maybe a more modest amount (something like $500, or $675).

Either way, know this. 100% of the money that comes in from Vancouver Beer Mile entry fees gets reinvested back into making Vancouver Beer Mile even more awesome!
