Event details and schedule
The 2026 TQL Beer Series is a series of three road races to celebrate Cincinnati's rich history of brewing and running. It includes the following races: Bockfest 5K, FiftyWest Mile and 14K & 7K Brewery Run on Oktoberfest Weekend with all races supporting local charities. Those who complete all three races during the calendar year will receive a special commemorative gift from TQL & Pig Works.
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.

Parkinson’s Steady Strides 5K
Dedicated to the physical, mental, emotional and social needs of those living with Parkinson’s disease in the Greater Dayton/Cincinnati metroplex, Parkinson Support & Wellness exists to help those with PD learn about the disease, which empowers individuals to take control and make connections with local resources like support and exercise groups.
Steady Strides, a timed 5K race and walk brings people together to raise funds for our mission to serve the local Parkinson community. These funds go directly toward financial grants made to local exercise and therapy organizations and to essential educational programs like PD-EDU.
Our big day isn't just a 5k; it's a joyful gathering of our community and a demonstration of the impact we can make when we work together. Free food from some of our area’s iconic brands, musical entertainment and a Basket Raffle extravaganza will be found in the Wetterer’s Way concourse adjacent to the Start/Finish line.
Fundraising Teams
Friends and family teams are the core that makes Steady Strides a financial success and a truly communal gathering. Joined by a common connection to Parkinson Disease, these groups come together to assure that the support services so vital to a full and active life are available to their loved ones. Teams take on their own personalities and make sure to include fun as a focus of the day. And they can get pretty competitive when it comes to number of participants and funds raised.
Support for the teams frequently ranges beyond immediate, even extended, families and circle of friends. Teams solicit sponsors from their communities and across their social media groups as well. This raises awareness and grows financial contributions.
Team captains are supported by the Steady Strides Race Committee and will be contacted by the committee to assist in recruiting.
Packet Pick-Up
Registration will be available at packet pickup and also on race day.

Participants can expect a fun-filled morning of walking, running, and cheering on others as they complete the 5K course (Race course updated in 2026) in the beautiful Devou Park. With each step, runners and walkers will be making a statement in support of those affected by domestic violence, showing that the community stands with them and is committed to creating a safer, healthier for all. A Community fair will be at the start of the race where people can talk to members of the Thrive Community about the many classes offered at Thrive Empowerment Center along with connecting with local resources offered at ION Center and many more.
The Thrive 5K is a community-action event in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, supporting all survivors and taking a stand against violence in our area.
