Event Overview
The Oktoberfest Runs @ Stony Creek is a long-standing autumn running event held at Stony Creek Metropark in Shelby Township, Michigan. This event has been organized for over ten years and transitioned from a November schedule to an October date to serve as a preparation opportunity for autumn marathons.
Course and Atmosphere
The races take place within the scenic landscape of Stony Creek Metropark. Participants follow trails that wind through forests, along lakeshores, and through areas featuring autumn foliage. The natural setting provides views of the park's lakes and local vegetation throughout the different race distances.
Distance Options
Participants can choose from four distinct distances based on their personal goals or training requirements:
- 30k (18.6 Miles)
- Half Marathon (13.1 Miles)
- 10k (6.2 Miles)
- 5k (3.1 Miles)
The 30k and Half Marathon distances are specifically positioned as tune-up runs for participants preparing for later full marathon events. The shorter 5k and 10k options are available for those seeking less distance while still experiencing the park environment. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
