Now in it’s 16th year, the Great British Beerathon is a 5 mile slobstable race, all to raise money for Street Child, although it feels like an ultramarathon.

Tickets are limited to 200 places, we’ve sold out every year, so gather your crew and grab your place. 

It’s 5 laps of central London dressed like a twat – no closed roads, no marshals, no shame. Likely slobstacles:

Lap 1 – Bitter and a Scotch Egg*
Lap 2 – Cider and a Porkpie*
Lap 3 – Lager and a Cornish Pasty*
Lap 4 – Guinness and Crumble*
*milk is available for non-alcoholics, vegan options …

All ticket sales + sponsorship fees — the cost of the booking platform, medals, prizes, slobstacle food and drink goes to Street Child. All volunteers are unpaid, further donations greatly welcomed.
