The Lansing Oktoberfest 5K is an inaugural road race held along the river trail in Lansing. The course is described as flat and fast and passes several iconic places and views in Lansing. The route begins and ends at Adado Riverfront Park adjacent to the Lansing Oktoberfest event.
Participants receive festival access to the Lansing Oktoberfest at the finish, a race t-shirt, a finisher medal, and a drink ticket valid for a first bier, cider, or wine. The listed registration fee for the 5K is $30.00. Registration opens June 11, 2026 and closes September 12, 2026.
A separate Oktoberfest challenge pairs the Lansing race with a Grand Rapids race on September 26. Completing both races in the challenge awards an additional special medal, resulting in three medals for those who complete the required events. The challenge has a limited number of entries available.
The event location is Adado Riverfront Park, 201 E. Shiawassee Street, Lansing, MI 48933. The description emphasizes the course setting along the river trail and the event ties to the Lansing Oktoberfest festival. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
