Fort Worth Oktoberfest 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk : September 26, 2026
The Fort Worth Oktoberfest event features two distances along Fort Worth’s Trinity Trail and Trinity River corridor. The main race is a USATF‑certified 5K with a relatively flat, scenic course that begins at Trinity Park. A separate 1 Mile fun run/walk follows a shorter route.
Race entries include a commemorative Oktoberfest beer stein and a three day pass to the Fort Worth Oktoberfest festival. Additional race swag listed for the event includes a lederhosen‑inspired race shirt, a custom finisher medal, and distance specific bibs.
On course and event features described for the day include costume and stein hoisting contests, a largest team contest, awards for overall and age group placings, and a finish area adjacent to festival activities. Awards are given for 1st–3rd overall male and female, masters overall, and top three in multiple age groups through age 80 and above; recipients must be present to claim awards.
Packet pickup is scheduled across multiple days prior to race day at local running stores in Plano, Southlake, and Fort Worth, with on‑site pickup at Trinity Park on race day. The event organizer is Run Project. The event lists volunteer roles such as water station support, course direction, and registration assistance. A featured charity partner is the Cindy Ramsey Center. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
