Thanks to all of the participants and volunteers of the 16th Annual Oktoberfest Run!
Recap: The weather, 1,600 runners on King Street, and the sauerkraut at the finish all helped the race live up to its billing: A Fall Classic. It started out wet and windy, but after a good soaking, the weather dried up before race start.
Big puddles along King and University. Bring a change of socks! #OktoberfestRun
