2026 Oktoberfest Half Marathon/10K presented by CC Creations

The Oktoberfest Half Marathon/10K, presented by CC Creations, takes place in College Station, Texas, finishing inside Kyle Field, the Texas A&M football stadium. Both the half marathon and 10K begin early in the morning. The event combines a road race with an Aggie game-day novelty: participants complete their chosen distance before crossing the finish line on one of college football’s most recognizable fields. This marks the 12th annual BCS Oktoberfest Half Marathon & 10K, with both distances sharing the same race-day setup. The half marathon course winds through the Texas A&M campus and the city of College Station. The 10K also utilizes the campus before concluding at Kyle Field. Organizers describe the race as “by runners, for runners,” and participant feedback is consistently positive, with high ratings for organization and value. The Oktoberfest theme extends beyond the finish line: runners receive a custom medal, a soft finisher shirt, and a beer stein to take home. The stein can then be used for a selection of local craft beers. The post-race area also offers food, music, and seating for recovery.
