Like a beer mile, but with hot dogs!

June 7, 2026

@ Eastern Market Brewing Co

Join us for the 4th Annual Hot Dog Mile at Eastern Market Brewing!

The Hot Dog Mile is an annual event celebrating hot dogs and regular dogs, dreamed up by the runners of Eastern Market Brewing Run Club. Participants eat four dogs and run four 1/4 mile laps- it’s as simple as that! All proceeds after race costs are donated to a local Detroit Dog Rescue!

What is a hot dog mile?

It’s like a beer mile, but with hot dogs! 4 hot dogs, 4 quarter mile laps, hopefully no puking and some beers at the end. a great hang-out to support dogs, eat hot dogs, have some beers and enjoy a lovely Sunday at Eastern Market!

The race/hot dog celebration runs from 10-2, with three waves starts every 45 minutes. Choose your start time when registering.
