Set in the heart of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, the Irving Oktoberfest Half Marathon 2026 combines race day with Bavarian-style celebrations. Runners choose between the half marathon, 10K, or 5K, all starting and finishing at the Toyota Music Factory and following smooth, largely flat streets and paths around Lake Carolyn, the Las Colinas Urban Center, and sections of Campion Trail. The course is designed for speed and comfort, making it ideal for personal-best attempts while still offering plenty of scenery. After crossing the finish line, participants step straight into an Oktoberfest party complete with German-themed entertainment, food, and beer for those 21+, turning the event into a full morning out with friends, family, or teammates.
