Great American Beer Miles Challenge
ππΊ THE GREAT AMERICAN BEER MILE CHALLENGE
Presented by Beer Drinkers of America
π November 1β30, 2026
30 DAYS. MILES LOGGED. BARS UNLOCKED. COMMUNITY BUILT.
Lace up, hit the pavement, and represent Beer Drinkers of America!
All November long, we’re challenging BDOA members across the country to get moving, log miles, explore new routes, and have some fun along the way.
Whether you’re running solo, with friends, or heading to your favorite local bar, every mile counts!
π HOW THE CHALLENGE WORKS
1. π RUN YOUR MILES
Run or jog as much as you can throughout November. Every mile you log brings you closer to the top of the leaderboard!
2. π² TRACK YOUR RUNS ON STRAVA
All runs must be recorded through Strava and shared with the Beer Drinkers of America Run Club.
Join the club, track your activities, and follow along with other BDOA runners across the country.
3. π» EARN A BAR BONUS MILE
Running to a bar? Get rewarded!
Earn +1 BONUS MILE when your run ends at a bar.
To qualify:
- Your run must finish at a bar.
- Your Strava route must clearly show the bar as your ending location.
- Only one bar bonus mile can be earned per run.
No route, no bonus!
4. π€ REPRESENT THE CREW
Share your runs, cheer on other members, celebrate personal records, and keep each other motivated.
This challenge is about more than mileage. It’s about building friendships and getting the BDOA community moving!
5. π RECRUITMENT BONUS
Bring a new runner into Beer Drinkers of America!
Earn +2 BONUS MILES when you recruit someone during a run and they officially sign up as a new BDOA member.
The new member must complete their signup for the bonus to count.
