Der Bier Lauf Peoria Oktoberfest

Der Bier Lauf Peoria Oktoberfest is a German-themed running and walking event held at the Peoria Riverfront Oktoberfest fairgrounds in Peoria, Illinois, at 200 Northeast Water Street. The race offers a 5K Run/Walk, a 1 Mile Walk, and a 0.0K option for those who want the Oktoberfest experience without running. The event supports CWTC and blends competitive and casual participation with a festive atmosphere.

Registered runners receive two drink tokens, Sunday entry to Oktoberfest, and a race packet. Packet pickup is Friday at RC Outfitters and on race day at the Gateway Building. Awards include overall gun-time winners and age-group prizes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
