Beer Mile Records & Results

Beer mile records have fallen repetitively over the past few years as the sport has emerged into the mainstream from its underground, sub-culture past. In 2014, the 5-minute barrier was broken for the first time. Now, there are 12 men who have run sub-5 and the world record stands at 4:33. We have not yet seen the first sub-6 by a woman, with the current women's beer mile world record standing at 6:16.

Since 2014, world championship races have brought together the best beer milers around the world to crown world champions and set records. Beer mile records, all-time top performances, and results are summarized below and will continue to be updated.

Current Beer Mile World Record

Corey Bellemore (Canada) - 4:33.6

Corey Bellemore of Canada holds the current beer mile world record with a time of 4:33.6. It was set on October 28, 2017 at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco, CA during a Deltas soccer game as the half-time show. Corey ran 4:24 at the Beer Mile World Classic 2018 in Vancover, British Columbia, which would have shattered the world record by 9 seconds, but he was disqualified for having slightly too much foam left.

Current Beer 2-Mile World Record

Chris Robertson (USA) - 10:18

The Beer 2-Mile is a daunting feat, to say the least. It is the ultimate test of liver, stomach, and athletic ability for those who don't find the beer mile challenging enough. Instead of the 4 beers, 4 laps of the traditional beer mile, the beer 2-mile consists of 8 beers, 8 laps around a standard 400m track (plus the extra 18 meters to make it a full two miles). A chunder at any point during the race results in a penalty lap added on to the end.

Chris Robertson (USA) shattered the Beer 2-Mile World on September 14, 2020 with a time of 10:18. The once-thought-untouchable Beer 2-Mile World Record of 11:39 previously held by Jim Finlayson of Canada stood no longer. 

Robertson had a perfect even-split, going through the first beer mile in 5:09 and closing out beer mile number two in 5:09 as well. He held all 8 beers in until shortly after the finish. You can watch him unleash the foamy goodness at the end of the video below.
