Boal City Oktoberfest 5K Race

Boal City Brewing’s 4th Annual Oktoberfest 5K Trail Race

Sunday, October 4 | Mini Monster Loop at 10:30am | 5K at 11am

Since their opening in 2023, Boal City Brewing has partnered with community volunteers, and key sponsors to build a unique and fun 5K trail race. The course follows adjacent trails to the brewery, making it largely off-road, and it traditionally occurs at the tail end of Oktoberfest season.

In 2026, Boal City’s Oktoberfest weekend returns October 2–4, and what better way to wrap it up than with a fall morning on the trails and a crisp Festbier waiting for you at the finish line? Lace up for the 4th Annual Oktoberfest 5K Trail Race on Sunday, October 4 at 11:00 am!

Whether you’re chasing a PR, racing for the win, going for the best costume, or just looking for a fun way to spend the morning, there’s a spot for you at the starting line.

For the younger runners, the Mini Monster Trail Loop is a short, family-friendly course for kids 12 and under.

Stick around after the race for awards, breakfast burritos from Rebecca Larson, coffee from Spoked, and a well-earned beer. It’s the perfect way to cap off a weekend of Oktoberfest fun! We’ll see you there!
