Don't let that Beer Belly stop you from running! Join the elite Beer Belly Division, where you will be treated like Oktoberfest royalty.

If you are asking yourself, "How do I become a member of this highly acclaimed group of runners?" the answer is jump on a scale and see if you are qualified for this prestigious position. Those men who are 220 lbs. plus and women who are 180 lbs. and over are eligible to enter this division.

Besides earning the respect and admiration of fellow racers who recognize your achievements, you will be honored with an unfair advantage of starting first, and thus ensuring your possibility of getting to the beer garden finish line before the pack!

• Bring your entourage (up to four people total) to this year's race and compete for the team with the fastest time.
  
• The race times of all the team members are totaled up and averaged out to get your team's overall time.
  
• Gather your quickest sprinters and add some flair by coming in costume.
  
• May the fastest team win!
  

• Sunday is Dogtoberfest at Fremont Oktoberfest.
  
• Your dog is welcome to run with you, and even go in the beer garden afterward.
  
• Must be well mannered and on a leash.
  

Life is what you pour into it. And what better way to pour on some Sunday Oktoberfest spirit than with two beer gardens to await your arrival at the finish line.

For those runners 21+ with valid ID, your race registration includes a thirst-quenching 12oz. can of Pyramid Hefeweizen post-run in the Pyramid Breweries Village Beer Garden!

Runners who wish to sample 70+ microbrews may buy admission into the Microbrew Garden at a discounted advance price. The Microbrew Garden opens at 11:00am. Runners who buy a ticket in advance will find them in their race packets on Sunday morning along with their bib and timing chip.

Both the Pyramid Breweries Beer Garden and the Microbrew Garden are only open to guests 21 and over.
