Beer Relay with Runabout Sports

Cheers to Cyclocross!

Grab 3 friends and join us at Fallon Park for the New Belgium Beer Mile Relay with RunAboutSports.

You bring your buds, we'll bring the suds! The Go Cross Beer Mile returns to Virginia's Blue Ridge Go Cross presented by New Belgium at Fallon Park on Saturday September 26, 2026 at 5:00pm (race starts at 5:30pm).  

Happening just after the elite cyclocross podiums, this beer mile is a team relay race with 4 parts beer, 4 parts running. It is designed to raise the vibe and get everyone out in costume to cheer (& heckle) for the pros. Prizes will be provided by RunAbout Sports to the top team and for the team with the best costumes. This year's the costume theme is "GO VIRAL!"

WHAT TO EXPECT:

The race briefing will take place at 5:00pm at the RunAbout tent and it is mandatory for all runners.

This race will be held in the in-field of the course. The race will consist of 4 laps of ~1/4 mile each consisting of part running and part pixie biking. The beers will be 16 oz. pints of Fat Tire (NA beers and Root Beer available on prior request).

Prizes will be provided by RunAbout Sports to the top team and for the team with the best costumes.

Come early! The beer relay will be just after the elite men's and women's cyclocross races. Food trucks, beer garden contests, vendors and more will be onsite so stay and have some fun!
