Rosendal 4th Annual
Beer Mile

The beer mile is a unique race that melds running, and fast beer consumption over a 1-mile (1.6 km) course. Non-alcoholic alternatives are available as well.
Andries Vrey, a beloved member of the Rosendal community, introduced Rosendal to the Beer mile just post-Covid, when spirits needed to be lifted. Sadly Andries passed away 2 years ago, but his legacy continues.
