Oktoberfest isn’t just about beer; it’s about the millions of people who gather together over shared passions and interests in an environment where they can meet new people, relax, and have a great time. In addition to forming an integral part of German culture for many generations, Oktoberfest celebrates warmth, friendliness, and good cheer which can be summed up in one word: gemütlichkeit.

The Irving Marathon Running Series brings people from all over the world together for a great cause! Each event benefits the Irving Schools Foundation by raising funds for scholarships to support our Irving ISD student volunteers. Learn more about our story.
