Highlands Ranch Colorado Oktoberfest, 5K Run and Fireworks Celebration

Event: Oktoberfest 2012, 5K Run and Fireworks Celebration

Date: Saturday, September 22, 2012

Time: 2:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Location: Town Center South

It's wondeful to see that the Highlands Ranch fireworks have been rescheduled in connection with this year's Oktoberfest celebration. Hope to see many of you there! The Target parking lot is usually a great place to park and see the fireworks.

New to the Oktoberfest 5K and 100 Yard Dash! The Chug and Dash!!

To honor the true German tradition of Oktoberfest, we are adding an option to our already popular Oktoberfest 5k / 100 yd Dash. After crossing the 5k finish line you will have the option of either sprinting to the finish line or "pausing" to chug a 10oz beer and then continue on with your 100 yd dash. This is an entirely free option (including the beer)! You must sign in race morning with your picture ID to get your bib marked. 

The Oktoberfest course is well suited for all ability levels. After the race, plan to stick around for giveaways and post race activities. Then get ready to polka, enjoy German food and Oktoberfest activities. The Oktoberfest in Town Center starts after the race.  Please be aware of parking and traffic prior to the race.

The 100 Yard Sprint sponsored by Boulder Running Company!!!
This year we will continue with our 100 yard sprint tradition. At the end of the 5k there will be an additional 100 yard sprint. The fastest male & female for this portion will receive a free pair of running shoes of their choice from Boulder Running Company. The 100 yard sprint adds a competitive twist to our 5k. Awards will be presented to the 5k winners as well as the sprint winners. The 100 yard sprint is included in the race fee and is located at the end of the 5k. There will be an additional timing mat where the 5k ends and the 100 yard sprint begins.
