About the Combustion Anniversary Beer Mile
The course is a short loop starting and finishing in the parking lot of Combustion Brewery and Taproom. Runners drink a beer, run the loop, and repeat until they have done it a handful of times over. There is also a shorter option for anyone who wants less running and less beer, following the same format on a condensed scale.
The whole event is built around the brewery, so the finish line is steps from the taproom. Heats go off in waves, which means there is usually a crowd watching when you come through at the end.

The Combustion Anniversary Beer Mile has been held every year since at least 2026. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 13, 2026.
