Although there are many variants on contesting this brutal event, the
milk mile involves drinking
milk and running a mile.
The most manly and legitimate way to contest a
milk mile it for the competitors to drink one half gallon of thick chocolate
milk from the local dairy, as opposed to thin grocery store chocolate
milk. Once a competitor drinks the
milk, they must run 4 laps around a standard 400 meter track. It is important to note that the time should be started when the competitors open their bottle/carton of
milk. If one is feeling particularly ballsy, eggnog is an impressive substitute to the chocolate
milk.
Other less prominent variants include drinking a given amount of
milk each lap, drinking amounts milk different than the half gallon stated above, and drinking white milk.
Milk miles are common among high school track and field and cross country teams. This is a niche for distance runners.

This event is not to be confused with the Gallon Challenge.
Onlooker 1: Wow those XC guys doing the
milk mile are dying.
Onlooker 2: Well you cant run a mile, much less drink a half gallon of chocolate
milk prior to
running one.
