A race where drinking beer is mandatory. That’s the essence of the Beer Run. It will be held on 15 August at Ribeirinho Park in Faro.
The race consists of four laps of a 402-metre circuit, for a total of one mile. The challenge is to drink one medium-sized beer (33cl) before each lap. During the race, you will drink a total of four beers.
It sounds tough, but also fun.
It seems that this event was originally held in other regions, and this is the first time it will be held in the Algarve region.
Faro has an international airport with flights from all over Europe, so many tourists visit famous resort areas such as Lagos and Albufeira from here. Faro also has famous beaches.
While it is a transportation hub, it is not as crowded with tourists as other resort areas, which may be part of its appeal.
This Beer Run Faro seems to reflect the region’s broader strategy of diversifying tourism beyond the beach by hosting a micro-festival that promotes an active lifestyle.

If I drink alcohol and run, I’ll probably die. But I want to go and try it.
