Results → 🌐 Official Race Page →The Elktoberfest Wine & Beer Run 5K is a festive, non-competitive run/walk that opens the annual Elktoberfest celebration in Elkhart Lake, a small resort town on the shores of its namesake lake in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. Now in its 5th edition, the race starts at 10:00 AM on Saturday, September 19, 2026, from Vintage Elkhart Lake Wine Shop.
The course loops along the scenic shoreline of Elkhart Lake itself, open to runners and walkers of every level — this is a celebration first, race second.
