Lace Up Your Tennis Shoes, It’s Time for the Brew HA-HA 5K!
Have you registered for the 8th annual Brew HA-HA 5K yet? Presented by Pyramid Breweries, this ultimate beer run takes place at Fremont Oktoberfest on Sunday, September 26th at 10:00 a.m. Lace up your tennis shoes, throw on a costume and bring your dog (and some friends!) to the Solstice Plaza. The run winds along the scenic Burke Gilman Trail and Ship Canal and ends at the Fremont Oktoberfest Pyramid Breweries Village Beer Garden.
Registration is the first step, training the next! Here are a few tips that will get you ready for this race to the bar stool:
- Register early. Pre-registration for the race is $20 and includes a Fremont Oktoberfest Brew HA-HA 5K t-shirt. Day-of registration is $30, but t-shirts are not guaranteed.
- Sign up for a special running division.
BEER BELLY DIVISION: Got a beer belly? No problem! Beer Belly Division participants will be treated like Oktoberfest royalty. Entrants that jump on the scale and qualify for the prestigious position – men who are +220 pounds and women who are +175 pounds – form this coveted crew. Besides earning the respect and admiration of fellow racers, division members will be honored with the unfair advantage of starting first, and thus ensuring the possibility of getting to the beer finish line before the rest of the pack!
TEAM DIVISION:Running and drinking are more fun with friends! Take your drinking buddies to the streets in the four-person team division. The winning team will be determined by average race times.
- Stay motivated. Setting realistic goals is an easy way for any runner to stay motivated to complete a race. At the Brew HA-HA 5K, reaching the Pyramid Breweries Village Beer Garden at the finish line is a popular goal set by many race goers. Runners looking for more libations later in the day can visit the Oktoberfest Microbrew Garden, which opens at 11:00am. Advance purchase for the microbrew garden is $20 and day-of entry is $25.
Go ahead… dress up, have fun and join us in the beer garden following the race. After all, life is what you pour into it!
