Rocktoberfest 10K & 5K
Rocktoberfest is a running event in Rock Hill, South Carolina, centered at Winthrop Lake with start and finish near the Winthrop Coliseum. The event includes in-person 10K and 5K races, virtual race options, and a two-person 10K relay. The course is a loop that circles Winthrop Lake, passes the Winthrop Golf Course, and goes by the Winthrop University Disc Golf Course. Five kilometer runners complete one loop and 10 kilometer runners complete two loops, providing multiple spectator viewing opportunities.
Event features include live rock music at the start and finish, an Octoberfest beer garden with local beers, a runner tech shirt for those registered by September 20, and finisher medals. Timing is provided by a timing partner and disposable timing tags are distributed at packet pick up. Packet pick up is scheduled at Charlotte Running Company on the day before the race.
Practical details: there will be one water stop for the 5K and two water stops for the 10K, restrooms near the start and finish, and ample parking at Winthrop Coliseum. Dogs and strollers are not allowed. Awards are given to top overall finishers and division winners and are presented at an awards ceremony. Registrations are non refundable, non transferable, and there are no deferrals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
