International competitors take part in the Beer Mile World Classic, which is described as the world's premier drinking race. Dozens of the world's leading 'Beer Milers' travelled to north London for the first ever intercontinental drinking race, called the Beer Mile World Classic. Competitors have to drink one beer before running each of the fours laps, totaling one mile. Canadian Corey Bellemore won the Men's Elite Race setting a New Beer Mile World Record time of 4:34:35. He drank his beer in just 8 seconds on some laps.
