Hudepohl 14K/7K Brewery Run

I may have found my most favorite run event! This is my first time running the series and I did the 7K. For $ 38.00 for 7K (including fees) you get a bib (with built in microchip, which you don’t have to turn in after the race), a beer glass, T-​shirt, and three tickets– 2 complimentary beers and a coney. However, there are water bottles, pretzels, fruit and other food items given at the event.
Hudepohl 14K/​7K Brewery Run is part of the Christian Moerlein Beer Series presented by the Flying Pig. There are three series you can complete: Bockfest (in March), Little Kings (April), and of course Hudepohl (September). The Christian Moerlein Beer Series benefits the Over-​The-​Rhine Brewery District Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation. It is a non-​profit organization committed to making the Brewery District — restoring and redeveloping our unique brewing history and historic urban fabric.
The Hudepohl 14K/​7K Brewery Run wraps up the Christian Moerlein Beer Series and at the same time kicks off Oktoberfest Zinzinnati. It is named after the iconic Cincinnati-​brewed beer and shorter 7K start and end just south of the Moerlein Lager House along Cincinnati’s riverfront.
Along the course, you’ll pass by many of the historic brewery sites of early Cincinnati and follow the routes that the horse-​drawn carts took to bring the beer from the breweries to the riverboats that would take the beer throughout the country. And once you’re finished, the party continues at the Moerlein Lager House with brews and snacks!
The course for the 14K/​7K:
The 14K route (8.6 miles) takes you along the riverfront, past several historic brewery sites into Over-​the-​Rhine and back to the Moerlein Lager House. The 7K route (4.3 miles) starts with the 14K and turns off at Gest Street and W. Pete Rose Way. Finish for both is on Mehring Way just east of Joe Nuxhall Way.
The weather was just perfect! It didn’t rain and the humidity was not bad! This was such a fun event and I can’t wait to run it next year!
