Lace up for an unforgettable experience at the Osh-Craft 6K and Fun Run, set to take place on Saturday, October 10, 2026, in picturesque Oshkosh, WI. This unique 6K event, now in its second year, offers a distinctive blend of running and local craft beverage appreciation. Participants will embark on a course that begins and concludes at the Sturgeon Spirits Craft Distillery, taking them on an out-and-back journey to the Fifth Ward Craft Brewery. The 6K distance itself is celebrated as the exact stretch between these two beloved Oshkosh establishments, promising "at least 20% more fun than a 5K!".

What truly sets the Osh-Craft 6K apart is its lively atmosphere and enticing aid stations. Around the 1.7-mile mark, runners will find a refreshing stop at the Fifth Ward Craft Brewery, offering a choice of beer or water to rehydrate. After completing the journey back to Sturgeon Spirits, finishers are rewarded with a special rehydrating craft cocktail and other refreshments, ensuring a celebratory conclusion to their race. Typical race day conditions in early October offer ideal running weather, with highs around 62°F and lows around 43°F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation, creating a comfortable environment for your run.

The Osh-Craft 6K and Fun Run is more than just a race; it's a social event highlighting the vibrant craft scene of Oshkosh. With its urban route connecting two local favorites and its focus on post-race enjoyment, this event promises a memorable outing for both seasoned runners and those looking for a fun and active way to experience the local culture.
