Race Info
The Oktoberfest Half Marathon and 5K is an annual autumn road race in Asheville, North Carolina, produced by Kick It Event Management. Both courses start and finish at Hi-Wire Brewing's River Arts District Beer Garden and are USATF certified. The half marathon route covers about 13.2 miles through the River Arts District, Montford, and West Asheville, with over 8 miles along the French Broad River Greenway. The courses were rebuilt in 2025 after flood damage from Hurricane Helene affected the original route.
