Whoopie Mile World Championships


Run Hard, Get Whooped!

Bar Harbor, Maine | Wabanaki Land

07/03/2026 @ 6 p.m.

Register spring 2026

Thanks to the 18 relay teams and dozens of solo and endurance competitors who joined us for the 2025 event! We look forward to an even wilder time in 2026! If you'd like to be involved as one of the supporters/sponsors for 2026's event, please reach out, and we look forward to connecting!

The Rules Are Simple​:

We supply the whoopies, and every 0.25 mile lap, you eat one. The entire whoopie must be finished before each lap starts. Run one lap with friends in the relay, four laps solo for the mile, or as many as you can until you're the last person standing. Run for fun, run for speed, or run for endurance. And run for the whoopies, of course. Oh, and if you puke, you are disqualified. ​​So save that part for afterward!

Divisions:

Solo Mile Division: 4 loops (1 mile) & 4 whoopies (winner is the fastest time)

Relay Division: 4 loops (1 mile), 4 whoopies, & 2 to 4 team members (winner is the fastest team time)

Solo Endurance Division: 1 lap & 1 whoopie x infinity! (winner is the most number of laps (each lap must be completed in under ten minutes to keep people from stalling!))

Individual participants can partake in both the Solo Mile Division and the Solo Endurance Division of the Whoopie Mile. They will run their first mile (and eat their first four whoopies) as fast as they can, and then continue on to see how many more laps they can do after that.

Prizes:

The bragging rights of Move Free Whoopie Mile World Champion until next year's event!

Prizes will also be given for top team names, costumes, and more!

Solo Mile Division: Ethan Bruce 10 minutes 18 seconds (2024 Championships)

Relay Division: JPH Bathroom Cleaners 7 minutes 34 seconds (2024 Championships)

Solo Endurance Division: Chris Manwaring 7 laps (2024 Championships)
