The fourth annual event will take place Saturday, Sept. 21 at 11 a.m. at Matchwood Brewing Co., and will raise funds to support Celebrate Life and Community Cancer Services.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. on race day. Costumes are highly encouraged — sport head-to-toe pink to support breast cancer awareness month, or go for the Oktoberfest theme and bust out the lederhosen. 

After the race, join fellow runners for an Oktoberfest celebration at Matchwood. Registration includes a beer and bratwurst, with a portion of beer sales going to support the cause. 

Coeur d’Alene band The Powers will be on hand playing live music, and there will be a kids’ zone with face painting and bounce houses.

Registration is $45 for adults (includes race, beer, brat and a T-shirt) and $10 for kids 12 and under. Late registration is $55 for adults and $15 for kids, so be sure to register before 10 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 19. Packets can be picked up Friday, Sept. 20 from 3-6 p.m. at Matchwood Brewing or the morning of the race.
