CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sep 23, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The North Cincinnati community is lacing up for a day of fitness, family, and festivity as Greater Project and Sonder Brewing present the Sonder & Friends Oktoberfest 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at 10 AM. The 5th annual event combines the energy of a road race with the fun of a local festival – all to support the most vulnerable children in the world.
Participants can:
* Run or Walk the 5K – Medals for all finishers and awards for top finishers.
* Sign Kids Up for the Root Beer Fun Run – A festive kids’ race with medals, root beer, and swag.
* Join the Sip & Support – Perfect for those who prefer to celebrate and cheer without running.
100% of race entry fees and Sip & Support tickets directly benefit Greater Project’s mission to serve the most vulnerable children locally and around the world.
“Every single registration is more than a ticket to a great day – it’s an investment in a child’s future,” said Lisa Fields, Director of Greater Project. “Together, we’re transforming the lives of some of the most vulnerable children in the world.”
Before and during the race there is a raffle for gift baskets made-up of amazing products. Tickets for the raffle baskets can be purchased now until the race at https://www.greaterproject.org/ or in person the day of the race.
After the 5K, the celebration continues with an all-day Oktoberfest party at Sonder Brewing in Mason, Ohio.
Guests can enjoy live music from the Polka Warriors and other performers, traditional German dancers, and spirited contests including keg rolling, a German spelling bee, and the official U.S. Steinholding Association qualifier.
The festival also features German-inspired food, cold brews from eight local craft breweries, and a chance to meet the beloved Brews & Moos Highland cows. Families can explore kids’ activities, shop more than 40 local vendors, and bring pets to the Barktoberfest Beer Garden.
