Oktoberfest Road Race | Saturday, Sept. 19th - Mt. Angel, OR
September 8, 2009
What would September be without acknowledging Oktoberfest? On Saturday, September 19th, Mt. Angel will play host to the Oktoberfest Road Race. Starting time is 9am and runners have a 5K or 10K option, depending on how far you feel like running. The race begins at Humpert Park on Alder Street. Be forewarned, there is VERY limited parking near the park. The organizers request participants to please park at Kennedy High School - a mere one block South of the starting line. Think of it as part of your warm up.
From the start, runners head out into the beautiful countryside surrounding the village. They will pass by scenic hop farms and nurseries en route to the finish. 10k participants have the added bonus of running around the base of the Mt. Angel Abbey before returning to the finish on city streets. The entire course is paved with some minor hills. The top three finishers (male & female) in each race will receive a custom designed Oktoberfest Road Race trophy and the top finisher in each event will receive an additional prize.
Course maps, registration fees and other information can be found at Mt. Angel Oktoberfest's website. Enjoy the run!
