There's a new Beer Mile record holder in town ... and not only is he the fastest, most buzzed athlete around, he just landed an endorsement with ADIDAS!!
Corey Bellemore, a 22-year-old college runner for the University of Windsor in Canada, smashed the beer mile world record with a time of 4:34.25 back in August ... and now he's already reaping the benefits with a deal with Three Stripes.
The previous record holder, Lewis Kent (4:47) nabbed a deal with Brooks Running last year ... making this the second major branded endorsement for a beer miler.
"I think with the exposure we created last year around Lewis, more companies are thinking of getting involved in Beer Mile," Kent and Bellemore's rep, Kris Mychasiw, tells TMZ Sports.
Get this ... Corey is a serious track athlete and is gunning to compete in the 2020 Olympic Games ... so the deal is for both the beer mile and professional competition.
Bellemore will have access to Adidas' full line of apparel and footwear, so you know what that means ... FREE YEEZYS!!!!

Zara Sued Someone Smells a Rat In Her Dress
A woman is suing clothing giant Zara over a rat -- or at least part of one -- that she says was sewn into the hem of a dress she'd bought off the rack.
Cailey Fiesel says she snapped up the dress at Zara's Greenwich, CT store in July, and when she finally wore it to work a few weeks later she noticed a "disturbingly pungent odor."
Later on that day, Cailey says she noticed a loose string rubbing against her leg, and when she reached down felt an unusual bulge in the dress. That's when she realized the string was actually the leg of a dead rodent.
Cailey says she developed a large rash that doctors diagnosed as a rodent born disease. She's suing for unspecified damages.
A spokesperson for Zara tells us, "Zara USA is aware of the suit, and we are investigating the matter further. Zara USA has stringent health and safety standards, and we are committed to ensuring that all of our products meet these rigorous requirements."

Hillary Clinton said goodbye to her presidential hopes Wednesday, but the silver lining is her campaign merchandise is selling like crazy.
A source at the official Hillary for America online store tells TMZ ... she's been flooded all morning with hundreds of orders for gear. Our source believes collectors are trying to scoop up the last of the commemorative merchandise, and supplies are extremely limited.
Normally, they have 50 types of shirts, but now there are only 3 left. One of 'em is only available in XS ... so, there ya go skinny chicks, and there was only ONE Hillary logo hat left!
We're told staffers are shocked after Tuesday night's results. They did have several order cancellations early in the day, and expected that trend to continue all day, but much like the election ... they experienced a dramatic swing.
It's all going cheap too -- a button's going for $4 bucks, and it's free shipping on any order over $30.
