OktoberFeast 2026

OktoberFeast is an Oktoberfest road race held at Mighty Squirrel in Waltham, Massachusetts, offering both a 5K and a 5-mile distance for runners and walkers. The brewery organizes the event as part of its Oktoberfest party, with the race day structured around a morning run followed by beer, live music, and access to the outdoor biergarten and taproom. The race is chip-timed, with overall awards determined by gun time and age-group awards by chip time. The event accommodates groups: strollers and dogs may participate if they start at the rear, walkers are welcome, and teams can compete for awards and VIP tents. Each participant receives a hat and two drink tickets. Guests can attend the party without charge and purchase their own beer. Awards are presented broadly for both race distances, recognizing top overall male and female finishers, age-group victors, the fastest co-ed team, and a party-team prize for teams with a minimum of 10 runners.
