Runners are asked to register

A three-mile route through Walhalla will be set aside next month for runners, one of the events in this year’s Oktoberfest, marking the founding of the town by a group of Germans who trekked to the Upcountry from Charleston in the mid 19th century.  The Rotary Oktoberfest 5K will be run 9 o’clock Saturday morning, October 21.  The equivalent of 3.1 miles is 12 and a half laps around a standard outdoor track.  Runners may register online or at the Oconee History Museum on October 20 and 21.
