The TQL Beer Series, scheduled for 2026, is an exciting trio of road races that blend Cincinnati's vibrant brewing heritage with its passion for running. This unique series offers runners the opportunity to experience three distinct events throughout the year: the Bockfest 5K in February, the FiftyWest Mile in September, and the Oktoberfest Weekend Brewery Run featuring a 14K and 7K course. Each race is not only a celebration of local traditions but also supports various charitable causes within Cincinnati. The series culminates with runners who complete all three races being rewarded with an exclusive commemorative gift from TQL and Pig Works, marking their achievement in the community's rich tapestry of running culture. The Bockfest 5K kicks off the series during Cincinnati’s annual Bockfest Festival, immersing participants in a lively atmosphere filled with historic brewing traditions. As autumn approaches, runners take to the streets for the FiftyWest Mile, which highlights the city’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship at one of its premier breweries. The grand finale on Oktoberfest Weekend invites both seasoned runners and casual joggers alike to explore Cincinnati's picturesque neighborhoods through scenic routes that weave past local breweries and landmarks. This event offers two distances: a challenging 14K for those seeking an extended adventure, or the more manageable yet equally enjoyable 7K option for all levels of experience. Whether you're chasing personal records or simply enjoying a day out with friends, each race in the TQL Beer Series promises to be an unforgettable journey through Cincinnati’s storied past and its thriving present.
