Oktoberfest Zinzinnati 14K/7K Brewery Run
The Oktoberfest Zinzinnati 14K/7K Brewery Run is part of the TQL Beer Series and serves as the opening running event for Oktoberfest Cincinnati, described as the largest Oktoberfest celebration outside of Munich. The courses start and end along Cincinnati’s riverfront and pass many historic brewery sites, following routes once used to transport beer from breweries to riverboats.
Distances offered:
- 14K (8.7 mi / 14.00 km)
- 7K
Registered participants receive a race shirt, commemorative pint glass, and poster at packet pick-up. All finishers receive a finisher’s medal that doubles as a bottle opener. In-person bibs include two drink tickets and a Skyline Cheese Coney voucher redeemable only at the 14K/7K post-race party. The post-race party is free and open to the public and features beer and music.
The event provides detailed turn-by-turn directions and a course map for each distance. There are staggered starts for the two distances and a virtual participation option. Awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers in each distance determined by gun time. Age group awards for men and women are given by chip time in these categories: 12-15, 16-20, 21-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70+; overall winners are not eligible for age group awards.
