2025 Oktoberfest Half Marathon & 5k 2026

The Oktoberfest Half Marathon & 5k is a road running event in Asheville, North Carolina, featuring separate half marathon and 5k races. Runners start in manual waves grouped by distance, keeping the shorter and longer races organized from the start line. The field is mid-sized, with 767 racers across the event and 353 in the 5k. Kick It Event Management organizes the race. Results are chip-timed with RFID equipment through Webscorer. The top three overall finishers are excluded from age-category results, allowing category awards to extend deeper into the field.
