14K / 7K BREWERY RUN ON OKTOBERFEST WEEKEND

The 14K/7K Brewery Run on Oktoberfest Weekend wraps up the TQL Beer Series and at the same time kicks off Oktoberfest Zinzinnati, the largest Oktoberfest celebration outside of Munich. The 14K and shorter 7K start and end along Cincinnati’s riverfront.

Along the course, you’ll pass by many of the historic brewery sites of early Cincinnati and follow the routes that the horse-drawn carts took to bring the beer from the breweries to the riverboats that would take the beer throughout the country. And once you’re finished, the party continues at Oktoberfest with brews and snacks as those who have completed the TQL Beer Series can celebrate their Brew Hog-dom!

Prices listed are inclusive of applicable fees.
