Oktoberfest 2022 at The Brewery

We are at a brewery so it would be wrong not to have an Oktoberfest Run! You don't have to drink is the first rule and is you must be careful if you do have a drink at the aid station. The medal is of course an awesome Thames Side Brewery pint that doubles up as a bottle opener & a fridge magnet - what more could you ask for?!

We will, for our Oktoberfest run only, have some of the fabulous Thames Side Brewery's beers at the aid table for runners to try. You will also all receive as your goody bag either a two pint takeaway beer of your choice or a goody bag. You will be able to between the two options when you enter as we know not everyone likes alcohol!!

All abilities are welcome at our super-inclusive events and we also welcome walkers too. Distances start from 5km and go up to Ultra-Marathon.

Distance & Time: The minimum distance is 5km, which is part of a full lap. A full lap is 4.37 miles (7km). We then have distances of 10k, half marathon, marathon and ultra (7 hours to do as many or as few laps as you like - choose your own distance)

Course: The course is along a beautiful stretch of the River Thames. It is fully signed so no navigational experience is required.

Medals: As long as you complete one lap, you will be an official finisher and you will receive our fantastic Thames Side Brewery Beer medal.

Distance Pins: We have distance pins for all runners who do a half-marathon or more. There will be a distance pin for all runners who complete either a half marathon, mega half marathon, marathon, 50km or Ultra in the 7hr time limit which can be attached to your medal ribbon.

Goody Bag: Absolutely! You have earned these replacement calories after all, so all our finishers get a great goody bag. You will have a selection of goodies to choose from. As well as our standard goody bag, we have a vegan goody bag too. Please remember to let us know if you are vegan or if you prefer a vegan goody bag when you enter and we can have this ready for you.

Aid Table: We have now returned to our full aid table selection, however we will serve you rather than a return to help yourself. You can rely on a great selection of savoury, sweet, fruit, cheese and vegan selections at the aid table - great if you are running long distances.

Special Event: If our event is a special event for you, for instance your 50th, 99th, 100th, 150th, 200th, 250th etc. marathon or half marathon then please let us know. We will provide you with a great number with your name and the event date on it. Also, if it is your birthday, again let us know and we will get you a special number for your birthday!

Toilet: Toilets are available at the start / finish area inside the venue HQ.

Parking: There is some limited free on-street parking in nearby roads which you should be able to park in. At the venue itself, there is a large public pay and display car park. You can also find cheaper parking if you arrange this online.

Other Info: There will be an area for kit bags to be left. This area is not watched and any bags left will be at the runner's own risk.
