The Beer Mile World Classic is Saturday in Lisbon, Portugal.
The beer mile is four laps of a track, or one mile combined, drinking a beer before you start each lap, for a total of four beers. The basic rules are: the beers must in a 341 millilitre bottle and at least 5% alcohol. And you don’t want to “chunder” aka puking. “Chundering” will cost runners a one-lap penalty, all but eliminating a runner from contention.
The beer mile began back in the 80s, when a group of varsity athletes got together at season’s end for the underground race. Over time, various teams would post times online and compare amongst themselves to see which city boasted the best beer milers.
The current world record holder is Windsor’s Corey Bellemore. He has been competing in the Beer Mile since 2016 and is the undisputed world record holder, breaking his own records multiple times, including his best in 2021: 4 minutes and 28 seconds.
Last years event was held at the University of Windsor.
The San Diego Comic-Con kicks off in San Diego, California today.
The SDCC is the biggest “comics” convention in North America. Comics is in quotes because it’s much more than that, when it started way back in 1970, the convention was devoted to comics, movies, and fantasy literature.
Since then, it has grown to be a pop culture juggernaut, spanning even further to also encompass television, video games, horror, anime, and much more. Since the beginning of the decade, it has regularly attracted over 130,000 attendees annually.
