Willkommen to the Kolping Society of Cincinnati’s Inaugural Schützenfest 1K Bier Dash!!! You do not want to miss the ALL-NEW & ORIGINAL Schützenfest 1K Bier Dash fun run on July 19, as we combine tradition, sport, and naturally Beer! The 1K Bier Dash is an un-timed, non-competitive fun run, and is the newest addition to Schützenfest, America’s Longest Running German Fest - Seit 1866! The Bier Dash will start at 7:30 PM on Friday, July 19, following Schützenfest’s opening ceremonies and ceremonial Keg Tapping. Runners will wind through a scenic 1K course through Kolping’s Biergarten and beautiful woods to create a one-of-a-kind experience. Whether you run, walk, or crawl, your challenge is to quench your thirst at not 1, not 2, but 3 beer stations along the way. After completing the Bier Dash course, runners are awarded a delicious giant Servatii soft pretzel. As a special feature, a celebratory toast of fine German Schnaps with our Schützen König, Ted Hoerstmann, awaits you at the finish line!
