The past fifteen years Four Peaks Brewing Oktoberfest and the Frank Kush Youth Foundation have partnered to produce Das Oktoberfest Runnin’ for the Brats. The flat and fast run around Tempe Town Lake adds just the right amount of Saturday morning Oktoberfest Oom-Pah-Pah!
Proceeds from the Run benefit: Tempe’s middle school All City Athletic Conference, Tempe Sister Cities and the ASU Frank Kush Football Endowment. For additional information about legendary ASU football coach Frank Kush and the Frank Kush Youth Foundation.
Register today for the Run and save the weekend for the 52nd Four Peaks Brewing Oktoberfest @ Tempe Town Lake – the first large festival of the fall season. Share the event, put your crew together and get ready to rally with the 75,000 like minded expected attendees over the three days of Four Peaks Oktoberfest 2025.
Did we say Sunday’s Four Peaks Brewing Oktoberfest admission is free. All runners will receive wristbands for free Saturday admission.
