Organiser's Description
_The Stein Dash - Brought to you by the Washington State Fair Foundation_
5Ks are fun. Beer is fun. 5Ks & Beer are typically not a natural pairing.typically. However, on Sunday, October 11th, the best of both worlds collide for the second annual STEIN DASH and this year will again be _EXCITING_, for sure! (How you ask? Keep reading).
So, here's the plan. You and your bestest friends are going to meet us at the start line Sunday morning. You're going to wander over to packet pickup where you will receive a pretty sweet Commemorative Stein, an awesome event shirt, a bib number, and a high-five. Then we shoot off our gun and you get running.
3.1 miles is no marathon but it still requires a pit stop (or three) and honestly water at on-course stops are a thing of the past. Grab your Stein, fill it up with a different beer at each of our three Beer Zones and chug, sip, sample, taste, pound however you want to do it just drink that beer and get back on the course because the clock still runs as you drink.
We are all going to be super proud of you when you finish the race, so we'd like to celebrate with a free entry into Oktoberfest! All you have to do is keep walking.the Finish Line is going to aim you right into the amazing Festhalle at Oktoberfest NW. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy. The beer will be flowing, there's football on TVs, huge selection of awesome beer, food, WEINER DOG RACES, and of course MORE BEER.
