Oktoberfest Zinzinnati 14K/7K Brewery Run
The Oktoberfest Zinzinnati 14K/7K Brewery Run is part of the TQL Beer Series and serves as the kickoff event for Oktoberfest Cincinnati. The races start and finish along Cincinnati’s riverfront and follow routes that pass many historic brewery sites. Parts of the courses trace the paths once used by horse drawn carts to move beer from breweries to riverboats.
Distances:
- 14K, 14.00 km (8.7 mi)
- 7K
Course information includes detailed turn by turn directions and a course map. The event uses a staggered start for the two distances. Registered participants receive a race shirt, a commemorative pint glass and a poster at packet pick-up. All finishers receive a finisher’s medal that doubles as a bottle opener. In-person race 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, music and snacks. Awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers in each distance based on 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. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
