I'm planning on joining...and hopefully able to run this year.
What IS ideal for beer mile PRs? Park 2 Park is June 15th and they have a relay as well (it is mostly a relay in fact, with a handful of people running the full distance). FWIW for those interested the bulk of the miles are on flat, paved back roads with a few loops through the county's parks. And it almost is in my backyard, I run a lot of the course regularly from my home. Right now that date would be an option. I like the idea. Local guys, let's put some thought into this.

Interesting. This I may be able to explain to my wife. Trying to explain driving 8 hours to run a mile while drinking beer she will not understand. There is also a 12 hour race Hawthorn Half days which you can run for as little or long as you like sometime in June. I hear they have had problems with people stealing out of cars though. WG could probably add more context. Anyway, I like the idea of another event plus the beer mile.
Cool. We would love to meet her. I'm sure we and our Chicago friends could help you plan, if need be.

Yep, I live in the Chicago area. If you need anything, eatery recommendations, breweries/pubs, places to run or stay let me know.

As of now I can't make it July 20th-21st and June 8th. Other than that I think I'm ok.
So bittersweet,This tragedyWon't ask for absolution;This melody,Inside of me,Still searches for solution.A twist of faith,A change of heart Cures my infatuation.A broken heart, Provides the sparkFor my determination.
Right now everyone who has replied is OK with July 27th, just so everyone knows that this date is leading. The two July weekends prior to that look like the backups at this point.
Keep'em coming....
I'm up in the air for mid to late July. We're working on book our camping trip to the north part of lower Michigan. Our first choice is the last week of July, second is the week before. That just happens to be what works best for camps, kid care and work schedules. I'll sit on the sidelines to see what day works best for all and see if it works out again this year.
At this point the July dates work well for me.

Bad news and good news....
Bad news is I won't be able to make it this year.
Good news is the reason why I can't make it. My daughter is expecting her first child late June / early July (that's right, I am going to be a grandfather). So I will be taking time off from work for that, which will also likely involve a visit from my mother. Bottom line is that a lot will be going on for me around that time with no set dates.
So while there is a chance that you will see me out there again it won't be this year.
Not at it at all.
Hot damn. As much of a bummer it is you won't join the debauchery, what a great gift. We will need to brew a special beer for the new grandchild.
Oh and I read you get an extra 5 minutes for your BQ time if your a grandparent. So there's that.
