CINCINNATI, OH -- Pig Works is proud to announce a partnership this year with Oktoberfest Zinzinnati to officially include the 14K/7K event as part of Oktoberfest Zinzinnati weekend.
This year’s Oktoberfest Zinzinnati weekend will be September 18-21 at Sawyer Point and Yeatman’s Cove along the Ohio River. Known as America’s largest Oktoberfest celebration, Oktoberfest Zinzinnati features German food, beer and activities such as the Running of the Wieners and the Stein Hoisting competition.
The Oktoberfest Zinzinnati 14K/7K Brewery Run will be Saturday, September 20 at 7:30 a.m. The event is part of the TQL Beer Series that features the Bockfest 5K in March and the 50 West Mile during Flying Pig Marathon weekend. More than 3,000 runners and walkers are expected to take part.
“We are proud to have these two iconic Cincinnati events come together,” said Doug Olberding, Pig Works CEO. “Oktoberfest’s move to the riverfront last year drew rave reviews from attendees, and ending the 14K/7K with this unique tradition as the post-race celebration is a natural partnership.”
“Oktoberfest Zinzinnati and the Brewery Run are two beloved Oktoberfest season traditions, so this collaboration made perfect sense,” said Chelsea Brown York, Vice President of Events & Experiences at the Cincinnati Regional Chamber. “We look forward to welcoming all of this year’s Oktoberfest Zinzinnati Brewery Run racers to Sawyer Point!”
Participants will receive a commemorative Oktoberfest-themed medal upon finishing. The event’s main festhalle will also open early for racers to celebrate and enjoy two Sam Adams beverages that are provided with race registration. Race watchers and friends are welcome to attend as well.
Registration is still open for the 14K/7K Brewery Run at https://flyingpigmarathon.com/tql-beer-series.
