Fort Worth Oktoberfest 5K
Fort Worth Oktoberfest 5K and Fun Run takes place in Fort Worth, Texas on September 26, 2026. The course runs along the Trinity Trail and is described as fairly flat with views of the trail and park. The event is held in conjunction with the Fort Worth Oktoberfest festival; all in-person participants receive a commemorative Oktoberfest beer stein and a free three-day pass to the festival.
The event program includes timed and untimed options, a virtual race option, and several on-site contests such as a costume contest, largest team contest, and a stein hoisting competition. Race swag for participants includes a Fort Worth Oktoberfest lederhosen race shirt, a custom finisher’s medal, and a race-specific bib. Packet pickup is provided on multiple days at local running stores in the Dallas–Fort Worth area and on race day at the venue location.
Awards are given for overall and age-group placings, including 1st–3rd overall male and female, masters overall, and top finishers across standard age divisions; awards must be claimed in person. The venue is listed as Trinity Park, with the race area using the back parking lot behind Farrington Field. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
