On Episode 13: Corey Bellemore becomes a RUNEGADE and we share a few Athletic Brews with the Beer Mile GOAT.

He’s a 3:57 miler, he’s the Beer Mile World Record Holder @ 4:28, he’s a top athlete, proudly hailing from Windsor, Ontario Canada, and now Corey is a RUNEGADE.

Fame found Corey, one summer evening in 2016, when he unofficially smashed the Beer Mile World Record. With his friends recording, they posted the video of Corey smashing the World Record to YouTube.

He became an instant celebrity and has been atop of the Beer Mile leaderboard ever since. Always with a big smile and a smooth stride, Corey lowered the World Record to 4:28.

He now has his sights set on smashing his WR at the 2024 Beer Mile

In case you’re wondering, the Beer Mile is just like it sounds and not as easy as one may think. Drink a beer, run a 400m lap, lather, rinse and repeat 3 more times - Corey is the best in the World at this, by a long shot.

But, there’s more to Corey than drinking some brews and running around the track. Corey is an alumni of the University of Windsor, a professional runner for Adidas and has represented Canada on six occasions, allowing him to travel the world and run down his dreams.

Corey remains a top athlete, is well-known in the community and across the globe. He shares a few training tips, what runners and spectators can expect at the Beer Mile World Classic and what’s next for him - spoiler alert, he’s making the jump to triathlons and longer distances - watch out world - Corey Bellemore has only just begun.

And we will be cheering him on when he drops the World Record, even further, this August in his hometown - a can’t miss event.

Thank you to Corey, we're proud of how you represent Canada and Windsor.
