Beer Mile Flood Relief - guessing competition

This year's blockbuster is coming to a Brisbane park near you!

For an awesome good cause, the Athletic Powerhouse and SpeedyReidy will star in:

The Beer Mile Flood Relief Appeal: Raising money for victims of Queensland’s flood disaster.
 
On 26th January 2010 at 4pm, the Athletic Powerhouse and SpeedyReidy will take part in the Australia Day Beer Mile at the corner of Shand and Byth Sts Stafford, Brisbane.

You can support them in raising money for Queensland’s flood victims by betting on how fast they can run the internationally renowned Beer Mile, which requires that they:

• drink a beer (minimum 345ml / 5% alcohol)
• run 400m
• drink a beer
• run 400m
• drink a beer
• run 400m
• drink a beer
• run 400m

Previous winning times last Australia Day:

• Male: 7min 34sec
• Female: 12 min 12 sec

The Athletic Powerhouse and SpeedyReidy are accomplished drinkers and have completed a couple of running races in their time. However, neither AP or SR have combined the two in such a feat of human prowess. (For a good reason!)
