About the Oktoberfest Rotary Run
The course runs on the Constitution Trail, a paved path that starts at GE Park, loops out through the Tipton Trails neighborhood, and returns to where you started. The surface is blacktop the whole way, so it is smooth and even underfoot. This is a fundraiser for local youth programs, and it has the feel of a neighborhood race with a genuine reason behind it.
Packet pickup the day before is at a local running store, with a shorter window at the park just before the start. After you finish, the party moves inside the clubhouse, where there are brats, polka music, and beer from a local brewery. Ceramic steins go to the top finishers in each age group.
