Chris Robertson Breaks Own Beer Mile American Record (4:37) in World Record Attempt
A week after shattering the Beer 2-Mile World Record with a time of 10:18, Chris Robertson attempted to break the Beer Mile World Record of 4:33 currently held by Canadian Corey Bellemore. He came up short of the world record, but set a new Beer Mile American Record of 4:37 in the process.
His time of 4:37 bettered his own previous American record of 4:38 set in June 2020 as a part of the Beer Mile World Classic virtual world championships, where he earned his second world crown.
The world record attempt was held on September 26, 2020 in the Chicago area in windy conditions. It is currently unknown whether Robertson will give the beer mile world record another crack in 2020 or if he will settle for the beer mile American record for the time being.
