It’s Fall Y’all! (Or close enough ) I had the best time at this inaugural Oktoberfest themed 12K trail race!

Great communication, easy directions, organized packet pick up.

Ample free parking a short walk to the start / finish.

Mid week evening race left me with mixed feelings… Does not interfere with all of the other established weekend races but also, it’s a school night…. Personally, it didn’t bother me but I could see how it would be difficult for others.

Chip start / finish timing on a well marked trail through beautiful Bedford Reservation. Hike, ruck, or run this mildly technical trail with 2 water crossings, a handful of road crossings, and plenty of elevation.

Best after party of the year with Oktoberfest beer, brats, and pretzels. The live band was fantastic along with games, dancing, and giveaways.

Oktoberfest swag choice of socks or hat plus a pint glass

Overall and age group awards were 10 years deep and awarded to 1st place only.

Nice turn out and lots of strong runners left me pleasantly surprised by my 3rd place age group!

I would definitely do this one again!
