| Race Ideas |
One of the things we pride ourselves on is providing ideas, and sometimes venues, for
unusual and vastly different ideas for races. Feel free to use any or all of the ideas for a
run/race in your area. We would ask that you pass along results to us and provide any input
to make things more fun. If, for some reason, the event sucks chances are it is your fault.
Beer Mile - One of the more simple events to put on and probably one of the best to get
arrested is the Beer Mile. Simple course of one quarter mile, can be loop or out and back.
Contestants start by drinking one beer. Once the beer is consumed a quarter mile is run.
Repeat three more times. Most Beer Miles include rules such as: No funnels, can beer only
(bottles don't work very well), no shot guns and puking results in a extra beer penalty. This
event can be broken down to domestic or imported divisions and race directors might want to
include a relay category.

specific details, click here.
Doughnut Run - The Doughnut Run has the potential to be a very simple race. The start
should be between 2 and 4 miles from a Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' Doughnuts although any
doughnut shop will do. Contestants go from the start to the store, consume a set number of
doughnuts, and then return to the start. Race Directors are encouraged to set a number of
minimum doughnuts to consume (3 to 4 is usually a good starting point) and allow
contestants to earn bonus points for eating more than the minimum. For example, for every
doughnut over the minimum a 2 or 3 minute time bonus is awarded. If contestants drink a
pint of milk, bonus time can be awarded as well. Of course penalty minutes added for puking.
It is highly recommended that no set course is laid out. Runners can either figure it out as
they go or plan something out ahead of time.
Omaha Run - An Omaha Run is fairly simple. That is provided you know how to play Omaha
Hold-'em. The card game is played much in the same way Texas Hold-'em is played with
one major difference. In Omaha, each player is dealt four cards instead of two and each play
MUST play two, and only two, of their four cards they are dealt. The rest of the hand goes the
same way as Texas Hold-'em, three community cards face up called the Flop, one burn card
face down, another community card face up called the Turn, another burn card face down and
the last card community card face up is the River. The best five card hand wins, remember a
player must use two of their cards. Now, an Omaha Run can be any distance, but we think 5
miles is best. At each mile stop have the same number of cards for each runner. So,
runners will pick up one playing card at mile 1, 2, 3 & 4. After the last runner finishes up the
run, the "hand" is finished with the dealing of the community cards. "Special" awards can be
given out to the winner. We suggest something that will be of no use whatsoever and one
that is extremely cost effective. Basically our friends aren't worth spending any money on so
chances are neither are yours. Dollar Store pregnancy tests are a good call.
Omaha Runs are great for small groups. However a deck of playing cards can only
accommodate 11 players.
