Safety is #1!
Join us at Oglebayfest weekend, Sunday October 5th for our 0.5k Beer Dash!
And yes, you read that correctly. This is a zero-point-five-kilometer (0.5k) event, a fun run around Schenk Lake. Head out around the Schenk Lake 'course' and back; just try not to spill your beer, it's bad for the grass! Go whatever pace you like - no matter what there’s a beer waiting for you at the finish line! The winners will be determined by a combination of their time and by the amount left in their mug.
What’s included?! All participants receive:
- TWO (2) free beers
- A souvenir Oglebay mug
Awards
1st through 3rd place for both men's and women's divisions.
