Race Information
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.
Sign up for the Irving Oktoberfest Half Marathon to enjoy the scenic routes through the Irving Las Colinas Urban Center, then cross the finish line and enjoy the Oktoberfest Post-Race Festival at Toyota Music Factory, America’s #1 Concert Venue, centrally located in Dallas-Fort Worth, minutes from the DFW airport!
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 Irving ISD student volunteers.
