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…. 🤷‍♀️
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
