Beer Marathon

Last Sunday was the Prague Marathon. I'm no where near being able to do a marathon yet (I blame most of that on the February O' Appendectomy.) But had I known about the Beer Marathon I might have been able to hold my own. The article in The Prague Post is a little sketchy on details, but I think I could have figured it out:

Alternative events

While there was also an inline skate race course, a family “mini-marathon” of 4.2 kilometers, an “eco-walk” of 2 kilometers and other fun stuff (paintball, anyone?) the new marketing event we liked best was the beer marathon, which had just 17 entries.

It seemed like such a great idea, too — anyone could participate in the “buy one drink, get a free beer” deal at 11 participating restaurants and bars around town, which included our Karlín favorite Gate Restaurant (Sokolovská 31, Prague 8); two Modrá zahrada pizza locations (Pařížská 14 and Národní 37, both in Prague 1); and two Potrefená husa locations (Bílkova 5 and Platnéřská 9).

Some folks filled out more than one entry form, apparently, since they picked up more than one prize.

Winner Miroslav Bouška received 5,000 Kč for getting at least six different beer marathon stamps on his entry form from participating locations.
Alena Mášová kissed her prize — a 5-liter keg of Staropramen given out to winners No. 2 through No. 11. She was cheered mightily by her compatriots in the bar, most of whom also received 5-liter kegs.

Sounds like a great exercise regimen. Pivo, anyone?
