All are invited to join in for the 15th year of the Burien Brat Trot and Oktoberfest in Downtown Burien on Saturday, Oct. 5, 2024.

Brat Trot is a fast and flat 5K fun run around Olde Burien, starting and ending next to Town Square Park (on SW 152nd Street), the site of Burien Oktoberfest.

The Brat Trot 1K races up and back on SW 152nd Street, and is fun for all ages.

“Bring the whole family! Our 5k and 1k routes are stroller friendly, and well-behaved dogs on leash are always welcome.”

The Brat Trot 5K is scheduled to start at 10 a.m., and the Kids’ 1K at 11 a.m. The full event schedule, packet pick-up dates and times, and all other Brat Trot details will be announced in September.

Stick around after the race, as Burien Oktoberfest will open around 10 a.m., just in time for Brat Trot finishers to join the fun — all adult 5K registrations (21+) include one free taster in the Oktoberfest Beer Garden. Burien Oktoberfest will feature a beer festival, fun games such as “Stein Carry”, “Weiner Toss”, “Keg Toss” and much more. Also returning is the Highline Schools Foundation Root Beer Garden, sponsored by HMSHost.

“Burien Brat Trot remains one of our longest running and most loved community events,” organizers said. “Race registrations, sales, and sponsorship helps raise critical funds for Highline Schools Foundation and our work throughout Highline Public Schools. These funds support our work to provide basic needs like school supplies and warm coats, equitable and innovative learning opportunities in schools and classrooms, and college and career readiness for students at all grade levels and in every school in Highline.”

Registration Now Open

Brat Trot registration includes a bib and finisher’s medal for each participant, and all adult Brat Trotter’s (age 21+) will receive a tasting glass and 1 free tasting from the Oktoberfest Brew Fest. This year, you may also add-on a commemorative Brat Trot t-shirt on registrations completed by Monday, Sept. 27. A limited quantity of Brat Trot t-shirts and beanies will be available for purchase on race day as well. Check out all the details and register at this website:
