🍻 A HUGE PROST to our 2026 Oktoberfest & 0.5K Sponsors! 🇩🇪

The wait is over, Oktoberfest is HERE! And we couldn’t kick off our 10th Anniversary Celebration without giving a giant Danke to the incredible sponsors who make it all possible.

Because of your support, fearless athletes from across Elm Grove will once again take on the world’s shortest endurance race, all 328 feet of it. 🏃‍♀️🍺 And naturally, every serious athlete needs proper support: energy drinks (aka b**r), hydration stations (also b**r), and recovery fuel (you guessed it…more b**r). 😂

In all seriousness, our sponsors are the true champions behind Oktoberfest. Your generosity helps fill our Village Park with live music, laughter, great food, family fun, cold drinks, and plenty of reasons to celebrate our wonderful community.

From the 0.5K to the final Prost! of the weekend, we are incredibly grateful for every business and organization that continues to invest in the Elm Grove Community Foundation and the village we love so much. ❤️

THANK YOU for helping us make 10 years of Oktoberfest possible!

Now grab your friends, raise your steins, lace up those running shoes (if you must), and let’s get this party started!

Prost to 10 years! Prost to our sponsors! Prost to Oktoberfest! 🍻🇩🇪
