Tipsy Turkey Beer Mile 2026

The Tipsy Turkey Beer Mile begins at the Outer Banks Brewing Station, transforming the Wednesday before Thanksgiving into a 21-and-over beer mile. Participants start together, drink a beer, run a quarter mile, and repeat this sequence for the full mile. The event is clock-timed, with rules allowing participants to run, walk, or crawl, provided they complete the distance. The race embraces the holiday spirit with encouraged costumes and a contest for the most creative outfit. OBX Running Company organizes it as a social run, offering awards for the fastest male and female finishers, an event T-shirt for all participants, and a post-race backyard party. Registration is available online, on-site, and late, contributing to its atmosphere as a relaxed local gathering rather than a strictly competitive race.
