2026 14K/7K Brewery Run on Oktoberfest Weekend

The 14K/7K Brewery Run takes place on Oktoberfest Weekend in September along the Cincinnati riverfront, offering both 14K and 7K distances. It begins early in the morning, concluding the TQL Beer Series and commencing Oktoberfest Zinzinnati, the large Cincinnati beer and food festival recognized as the biggest Oktoberfest outside Munich. Both the 14K and 7K routes begin and end by the Ohio River. Runners proceed past historical brewery locations connected to Cincinnati's early brewing history. The course traces old beer-hauling routes once utilized by horse-drawn carts transporting barrels from breweries to riverboats for distribution nationwide. Post-race, participants can enjoy beer and food at Oktoberfest. Those finishing the entire TQL Beer Series earn "Brew Hog" status.
