2021 Oktoberfest 10K Classic UPDATE
May 28, 2021
UPDATE - MAY 2021
We are planning to race as normal. There will be no refunds for 2021 registrations and no transfers to 2022 Oktoberfest 10k. We will run the race live unless the climate of COVID changes and we are mandated by the state to stop. If we are forced to cancel the live event, we will run the event as a virtual race. If we go virtual, race materials will be distributed through packet pickups, mailings and other means necessary to comply with government regulations. We thank everyone for their past, present and future support for the Minster Oktoberfest Classic 10k see you in October!

Per Village of Minster Resolution, only Dogs In Service / Assistance Roles, with valid paperwork, are allowed on Minster Oktoberfest park grounds this weekend.
Though we are sure your pet is a very good pet, unfortunately we can not control how every person trains and/or maintains their own pets.
For the safety of all the pets, as well as festival attendees, pets are not allowed on the premises. So, please leave your pets properly cared for, away from park grounds, while you are attending the Minster Oktoberfest.
This year, we’re paying homage to our past: the iconic 1975 shoe & button is making its appearance once again alongside other vintage and timeless apparel options. With over 30 items to choose from, there is surely something for everyone!
We are offering both pick-up AND shipping on all of our apparel this year. You will be able to select either Shipping or Pick-Up when checking out online.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS:
📆 Aug 16th: Final day for presale orders
📆 Sept 12-15: PICK UP your gear at Caddy’s or join us at the Fall Market at Caddy’s on Sept 14th (10am-2pm). We will also be selling some limited buttons and some apparel on site.
