Over 400 runners, walkers and beer drinkers joined in the fun, along with a crowd of revelers, as the 8th Annual Sailfish Beer Mile hit the streets of downtown Fort Pierce, on Sunday November 12, beginning at 4 PM, just outside Sailfish Brewing Company. A light rain added another level of challenge to the festivities.
The record attendance means record funds were raised, with two different local organizations estimated to receive $4 to $5 thousand each, as budget is finalized. Both organizations, Girls on the Run of the Treasure Coast and Treasure Coast Night to Shine, were on hand to share info about their organizations, as well. Over the last 8 years, the Sailfish Beer Mile has raised over $50,000 for local organizations.

Two waves of runners included over 35 different teams and brave individuals, who followed beer (or root beer) mile rules: 4 cups of beer or root beer and 1 mile of running or walking. Sailfish provided the beer and draft root beer came from Sidedoor Brewing. Sponsors this year included: Sailfish, Fortify Roofing, H**p Collective, Varsity Printing and Fleet Feet Sports.

Top individual runners were awarded in 10-year age groups and first overall male and female beer mile runners. Congratulations to Lee Kolias and Jessica Schmitt, overall beer mile winners and Mitchell Martin and Tessa Delange, 2nd place finishers. All runners must stop for beer or root beer at every stop, in order to compete for top honors for the beer mile.

Top Team honors included: Team with Largest Amount of Finishers: Run, Sweat & Beers; Gym Team with Largest Amount of Finishers: Orange Theory Fitness Vero Beach and Fastest Overall Team: The Chasers.
In the Youth Division, for those who ran without stopping for libations, overall winners were Emmie Collins and Jose Santana. 2nd Place were Bianca Santana and Grant Collins.

Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers, runners, walkers and beer drinkers for another exciting one-of-a-kind event. Runners can check Sailfish Beer Mile’s runsignup website or here on social media for posted race results and photographs.
