Willkommen Damen und Herren!

The Church of Francis de Sales presents their annual Oktoberfest celebration! This is our church’s largest annual fundraiser and one of the “can’t miss” events in Mathews County. In 2016, we have added a new feature to the celebration: a 5k race and 1 mile Volksmarch. Join us for exercise, entertainment, and the most authentic German cuisine you can get outside of Deutschland courtesy of our master chef, Chris Hale.

The 2016 event is scheduled for Saturday, Oct 15th. Race registration and meal tickets are available online – just go to “vttrunners.com/Oktoberfest” to sign up for either or both through noon on 10/15. Tickets sell out each year, and onsite registration is not available.

Every race participant will receive a 22-oz custom commemorative German stein, and awards will be presented to top male & female finishers, along with top 2 finishers in 9 different age groups.
