Your registration into the full winter series includes registration for the South Berkeley 5K. Although this race is not directly organized by SVR we’re thrilled to team up with organizers and incorporate it again into the Winter Series. SVR will be there before the race to help with registration and hand out swag.
This race starts at 2pm but arrive early to navigate road closures, parking, and registration. This 5K race starts before the South Berkeley Christmas Parade and all proceeds benefit The Berkeley County Humane Society. The mostly flat course follows along the parade route so there will be plenty of cheering spectators. *** Festive costumes and clothing are encouraged ***

The Winchester Beer Mile Benefits The Lucas Fund

What is a Beer Mile?

A Beer Mile is a drinking game combining running and speed drinking.  The event takes place on a 1/4 mile running course. The race begins at the starting line with the consumption of a standard 12oz beer, followed by a full lap around the course.  The second lap continues in a similar manner; another 12oz beer is consumed before commencing the running of the second lap.  This process is repeated for the next two laps.  Following the completion of the forth running lap (and four beers), a competitor has finished the race.  Competitors who vomit before they finish the race must complete one penalty lap at the end of the race (immediately after the completion of their 4th lap).  Note: Not required to drink an additional beer on the penalty lap.  Also vomiting more than once during the race still requires only one penalty lap at the end.
