Event Overview
The HomeGrown Brewing Oktoberfest 5K is an untimed fun run held in Oxford, Michigan, as part of the 2026 Michigan Brewery Running Series. Participants can run, walk, or jog a course that starts and ends at the HomeGrown Brewing Company taproom. The route is a scenic 5k-ish distance that transitions through the surrounding neighborhood.
As this is an untimed event, there is no competitive pressure, making it an open activity for various movement preferences. The course is considered "open," meaning roads are not closed to traffic, and participants are required to follow all local traffic laws.
Participation Details
The event is open to all levels of experience. The following distances are available:
- 5 km
The event proceeds rain or shine, provided conditions are safe. Participants are advised that no bag check is available on-site. Dogs and strollers are permitted on the course, subject to brewery policies.
Registration Benefits
Participants receive a craft beverage at the finish line, with non-alcoholic options available for those under 21 or by preference. Registration also includes a choice of collector’s pint glass or seasonal promotional items. A portion of the proceeds from the event, specifically 10%, is donated to local Michigan nonprofit organizations. Post-run activities at the taproom include music, games, and prize drawings for merchandise and other surprises. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
