Sonder & Friends Oktoberfest 5K
Join us for the Sonder & Friends Oktoberfest 5K run/walk and Kids Root Beer Run, hosted at Sonder Brewing. This event celebrates Oktoberfest and benefits the Greater Project, serving children in need in our community and beyond.
The festival will feature several local breweries serving German beers, festive food, kids activities, and live music. Participants receive a free beer ticket or root beer, along with a finisher medal. Stay for the after-party!
Awards will be given to the top 3 male/female finishers, and prizes will be awarded for the largest team and best individual and team Oktoberfest costumes. Strollers are welcome, as are well-behaved dogs on a leash.
