Heidelberg Kastenlauf
Time: 11:30am (meet up), 12:00pm (start)
Rules: Finish race and finish beer (but not in that particular order). Teams of two run from the Koenigstuhl to just across the Neuenheim bridge with a case of beer. The winner is the duo that crosses the finish line first... with an empty case. The event is mid-April, but the details are still a bit hazy (as will be you if you participate). I will pass on more info as I get it...
Beer requirements: 0.33 liters (kleine)/case of 24 bottles
Judges: None. As in most German activities, the reward for finishing this race is honor. Of course, you could easily cheat and dump beer, but then you won't have the satisfaction of knowing you honestly accomplished the feat. If this isn't enough to deter the cheaters, this race is totally devoid of any type of material reward. You don't even get a dinky "Certificate of..." signifying that on that day you got wasted and ran down a hill.
Happy training!
