Drink. Run. Repeat. Got your attention?
Then this event is for you!
Join us on August 22, 2026, when you and your friends will take turns running a 5K loop at the Brier Patch Hunting property just north of Poplar Grove Plantation. Before each lap is run, you can drink a 12-ounce beer or chocolate milk for a 2-minute deduction off your lap time. Run solo, with your best friend, or on a team of 3 or 4 to complete the 20K course.
RACE INFORMATION
We will be hosting this race just north of Poplar Grove Plantation on US 17. Participants and spectators will get to enjoy the natural atmosphere of Southeastern Coastal NC. You must be 21 or older to participate in the beer portion of the race. You do not have to drink beer to participate, beer is simply another element to the race and is optional. Persons under 21 can participate with chocolate milk.
The course is a very natural wooded terrain surrounded by swamps. Footing is variable; trail shoes are recommended. You should expect bugs during the race. We have sprayed and fogged the field but not the course itself. The race is called Copperhead due to running in the woods in Southeastern NC in August; there is a chance that you could see a snake. If you do, please stay away from it and alert us. There are also numerous obstacles, including logs and water crossings. Take caution and go slow.
