It’s officially lederhosen-and-dirndl season in Fort Worth!
The 17th Annual Rahr Brewing Company Oktoberfest 5K is back at the Flying Saucer Fort Worth in Sundance Square, and we’re once again putting the FUNk in Oktoberfest — Texas style.
For seventeen legendary years, this celebration has mixed Bavarian vibes with big Fort Worth energy, and we’re not slowing down now. Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 3, 2026, round up your brew crew, lace up those running shoes, and get ready to run, raise a stein, and party like a Bavarian with a Texas-sized twist.
Your registration hooks you up with an official race shirt, a custom 17th annual finisher medal, a commemorative pint glass built for proper toasting, two Rahr brews worthy of a loud “Prost!”, and entry into one of Fort Worth’s favorite Oktoberfest parties.
So what are you waiting for? The steins are chilled. The course is calling. Let’s make this the most legendary year yet. 🍺
