Oktoberfest 5K Run/Walk 2026

Get excited, Sierra Vista! It's back!  An event that promises to elevate your energy and lift your mood—the Oktoberfest 5K! This vibrant race goes beyond just running; it’s a celebration of community, culture, and the joy of Oktoberfest! Join us as we turn the area around Veterans Memoiral Park into a lively festival filled with laughter and music. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a leisurely jogger, or a cheerful walker, this 5K welcomes everyone. Don your finest Bavarian outfits for a chance to win prizes—lederhosen and dirndls are definitely encouraged! As you race through the course, expect delightful surprises, including enthusiastic spectators, festive decorations, and perhaps some friendly locals offering high-fives (and maybe pretzels). Once you cross the finish line, the real festivities kick off! Savor some refreshing drinks, and live entertainment to keep the Oktoberfest vibe alive. So save the date, rally your friends and family, and get ready for a day filled with joy, togetherness, and classic fun at Sierra Vista’s annual Oktoberfest 5K. Let’s create unforgettable memories—Prost!
