Hooters throws 82-year-old beer miler a surprise birthday party
Elvira Montes, an 82-year-old runner who completed a beer mile in December, got a surprise birthday party courtesy of Hooters recently.
Following the Flotrack beer mile world championships in December, the then 81-year-old Elvira Montes announced that she was going to celebrate by heading to Hooters for chicken wings and Scotch with her daughter Renee.
She was the oldest finisher at the event and completed the four-beer, four-lap race in 20:24. Runners drink one beer and run 400m four times to complete the event.
