The Silverton Runners Club and Oktoberfest are again teaming up to host the Oktoberfest 5k and 10 races. The races have a little something for every type of runner. Track runner? The start and finish is on the Kennedy High School track. Road runner? The course meanders through the hamlet of Mt. Angel. Trail runner? Parts of the course are on gravel. Like it flat? It mostly is. Like hills? We have a couple. Like a good party after? Mt. Angel Oktoberfest! Every finisher will receive a pint glass and a ticket for a complimentary beer at the Oktoberfest. See, we got you all covered! See you there.

What you need to know:

The 10k course will be new this year.

We allow strollers, please line up in the back.

Though we like dogs, please do not bring them to run the races.

There will be day of registration.

If you register for the 10k, please maintain at least a 15:00/mile pace. The course will officially close at 10:30 so our volunteers can enjoy the Oktoberfest activities.
