This exhilarating 5k Run is held every year in Walhalla, South Carolina. Nestled in the scenic foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Walhalla has been hosting the Oktoberfest since 1979.

The master of ceremonies will be Herb Tyler from Chick-fil-A Seneca/Clemson. There will be good competition, good prizes, good fellowship, the Chick-fil-A cow and a good cause. Awards will be given for overall winners and first, second and third place male and female runners in the standard age group categories. T-shirts will be also available for all pre-registered runners/walkers. For more information call 864-9023 or register online at oktoberfestrun.com.
