OCC presents:
Oslo Coupette Run 2024
Rules:
Each competitor drinks six coupettes (12,5cl) of Champagne (a total of one bottle) and runs 4 legs of approximately 1000m.
The competitor must enter the call room/start area 30 minutes before the race starts. Each competitor have to drink two coupettes in the 30 minute window, one every 15 minuttes on the run leaders signal. As the race starts each competitor must drink one more coupette before starting the run, then run one leg, drink coupette, run leg, drink coupette, run leg, drink coupette, run leg, finish.
Competitors can walk/move (no siting) in the call room/start area while drinking, but the coupette must be consumed before starting to run the first leg.
Women also drink six coupettes and run four legs.
Competitors must drink Champagne only. Other sparkling wines are not allowed. This year's sponsor and dedicated producer of fine bubbles is Pol Roger.
Each coupette must be drunk standing. Sitting down is not permitted under any circumstances.
Competitors must run with the coupette in their right hand. If the coupette is broken, the competitor is disqualified. If the coupette is held in the left hand, a one-minute penalty is given, and the competitor has to drink an extra coupette before continuing.
Competitors who vomit before they finish the race must complete a designated penalty leg at the end of the race before crossing the finishing line. Vomiting more than once during the race still only requires one penalty leg at the end.
The top five runners who don’t throw up or break the coupette will automatically become members of Oslo Coupette Club. The OCC can initiate membership by invitation. The OCC can change the rules for the OCR at any time.
All competitors must join the post-race banquet held at a venue choosen by OCC directly after the conclusion of the race. The winner must hold a speech to the fellow competitors before the banquet can commence.
