Oktoberfest Zinzinnati 14K and 7K Brewery Run
The Oktoberfest Zinzinnati 14K and 7K Brewery Run is part of the TQL Beer Series and kicks off Oktoberfest Cincinnati, described as the largest Oktoberfest celebration outside of Munich. Both distances start and end along Cincinnati's riverfront and follow city streets and riverfront routes.
Distances
- 14K (8.7 mi / 14.00 km)
- 7K
The course passes many historic brewery sites and generally follows the routes that horse drawn carts used to move beer from breweries to riverboats. Detailed turn by turn directions and a course map are provided for each distance. A staggered start for the two distances is noted for the current edition.
Registered participants receive a race shirt, a commemorative pint glass and a poster at packet pickup. 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 event post race party. The post race party is free and open to the public and features beer, music and snacks.
Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in each distance determined by gun time. Age group awards for men and women are determined by chip time in the following 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 and over. Overall winners are not eligible for age group awards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
