Oktoberfest 5K Run & Walk
Saturday October 18, 2025
Join us for a festive run and walk experience starting at the historic Fair Grounds Racetrack and finishing at the iconic Deutsches Haus in the heart of New Orleans. You'll enjoy a scenic route that takes you around the racetrack before returning to the lively atmosphere of the Deutsches Haus.
But the fun doesn't stop at the finish line! Every registered participant will receive not one, but TWO FREE entries into the New Orleans Oktoberfest ($20 value!). That's your ticket to enjoy authentic German food, music, and dancing after you've conquered the 5K.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to combine fitness with festive fun.
