SUMMARY:Bockfest 5K
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for spring\, beer\, Skyline Chili\, premium swag… and goats \n\n\n\nOne of Cincinnati’s most uniquely spirited traditions returns Saturday\, March 7\, as runners lace up for the Bockfest 5K at The Banks\, kicking off a weekend celebration of spring\, brewing heritage\, and community. \n\n\n\nThe 3.1-mile race begins at 10:00am at The Banks and winds through downtown Cincinnati before finishing near Moerlein Lager House\, one of the official Bockfest halls. The event is part of Pig Works’ TQL Beer Series\, and gives participants a chance to balance Bockfest’s signature beer\, food\, and festivities with a scenic downtown run. \n\n\n\nAll registered participants will receive a commemorative race shirt\, two drink tickets\, and a Skyline Chili cheese coney redeemable at the post-race party. Finishers will also receive a custom medal that doubles as a bottle opener – a fitting tribute to one of Cincinnati’s most beloved brewing traditions. \n\n\n\nBockfest is a uniquely Cincinnati celebration marking the arrival of spring and honoring the rich history of bock beer. Traditionally brewed in Germany for special occasions\, bock beer was once consumed by monks during Lenten fasts as a source of nourishment. The modern festival traces its roots to the Hudepohl-Schoenling Brewing Company\, which created Bockfest to celebrate the release of Christian Moerlein Bock and help usher in the spring season. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRegister
