I have a confession to make.
I, Dani Holmes-Kirk, am a Cambridge 5k race series addict.
That’s right. I feel safe to admit that here to all of you.

The race director, Eddie O, is one of the nicest and most-dedicated folks I have met. When he asks for race feedback, he actually wants to know and you know what implements change. I tip my hat to him for that.
Eddie is persuasive. He is the man who got me to participate in the Freedom Run 5k less than an hour after finishing the Boston’s Run To Remember Half Marathon last May.
So far in 2014 I am two for three in the Cambridge 5k series races: inaugural Craicfest 5k (3/17) and Freedom Run 5k (6/1). I missed Sasquatch the trail race in July due to a conflict. My first time missing a Cambridge 5k race since 2012. :(
There is still time to register for the Big Bad Wolf, a 5-mile trail race in Ipswich, MA on September 13.
Which brings us to race #5 of 6 in the 2014 Cambridge 5k series ... the Oktoberfest 5k on October 5 at 9:30am!
Now the weather has not cooperated with this race in the past - usually raining on the day of - but that doesn't dampen the party whatsoever.
There is a new location for the Oktoberfest 5k this year - offering more space for racers to meet with friends and celebrate afterwards.
2013 Oktoberfest 5k
Join in for a "wunderbar" German-themed road race through Kendall Square, Cambridge to benefit Cambridge Family & Children's Service (CFCS).
The course is fast & flat and goes through the heart of Cambridge! Runners line up on Technology Square. When the race starts, runners turn left on Main St., left on Ames St., left on Broadway, left on Ware St., left on Harvard St., right on Portland St., then turn left and proceed to the finish on Technology Square.
The Oktoberfest crowd is a great mix of all fitness levels and paces. This group really gets in the spirit too.
Run the race in your Lederhosen or Dirndl and you could win a great prize in our German costume contest! Unleash your inner Bavarian!
Registration ($38) includes a race shirt + food & beverages at the post-race Oktoberfest party sponsored by Cambridge Brewing Co, Swiss Bakers & Jacob Wirth.

I am wicked excited for this year's run as Eddie O took runners' comments on tight post-race quarters last year and has relocated the race this year. The crew needs room to rock the post-race dance off. Ya know? :)
So how can you get in on this awesome 5k action and run with me and some pretty sweet Slumbrew Happy Soles?
Well Eddie has been generous enough to give me not 1, not 2, but 5 race entries to give away to you lovely people!
Here's how to enter:
Giveaway will run from Friday September 5 (7am ET) to Friday September 12 (10 am ET)!
Winner will be announced on Friday!
