The Dunedin Oktoberfest 5K 10K at HOB Brewing Company Downtown Dunedin

Lace up your running shoes and embrace the festive spirit at The Dunedin Oktoberfest 5K 10K, set for Saturday, September 26, 2026, in the vibrant heart of Dunedin, FL. Kicking off from the lively HOB Brewing Company, this event is celebrated as Dunedin's "MOST FAMOUS run/walk of the year," inviting participants of all ages and abilities to join in the "OktoBEERfest" fun. Choose your challenge from a 5K run/walk or test your endurance on the 10K, which features a two-loop course.

The course itself is a highlight, guiding runners along the scenic, fully paved Pinellas Trail. Described as flat, fast, and shaded, it offers an enjoyable out-and-back experience that takes you north through downtown Dunedin. This family and dog-friendly race encourages a laid-back, non-competitive atmosphere, so much so that participants are encouraged to skip headphones and instead soak in the community's cheerful energy. Typical race day conditions in late September see highs around 89°F and lows around 75°F, with a 16% chance of precipitation.

Your finish line reward is well-earned: a "LARGE AND SUBSTANTIAL" finisher's medal, a RUN FLORIDA promotional t-shirt, and for those over 21, a complimentary draft craft beer from HOB Brewing Company at the lively post-race party. While official results are available online later, the emphasis is on participation and celebration, with framed awards presented to the first 15 male and female finishers in each distance. With a cap of 250 participants, this popular event tends to sell out quickly, so early registration is highly recommended to secure your spot in this unforgettable Oktoberfest celebration, which also supports local youth sports programs.
