Run, rest, refresh, repeat — it's Frachthaus time again!

Join us on Sunday, Oct. 22, starting at 3 p.m.
Join your fellow underachievers for an afternoon of glory and celebration to help raise money for a great community project, the Lansdale Freight House.
The return of the Frachthaus Zer0.5K will be held at 3 p.m. on October 22, 2023. This is a fun, tongue-in-cheek event that will lampoon the typical 5k.
Some Details:
The cost to enter the Frachthaus Zer0.5K is a $40 donation, though more is acceptable (and appreciated)! Those who do not pre-register will pay $45 day of event.
You must register at: https://runsignup.com/Race/PA/Lansdale/LansdaleFrachthauszer05k . Entry into the Lansdale Oktoberfest is available without participating in the 0.5K for $5, but what fun is that?!
All participants will receive (included in price):
Oktoberfest Includes ($5 entry, but included with zer0.5k)"
Participants will gather on Wood Street in front of Round Guys Brewing Company beginning at 2 p.m. Those 21 & over may receive one cold beer before the start of the race. Those under 21, or those who prefer, may choose a nice cold root beer.
The err . . . “Run” will begin at 3 p.m. and head down Wood to Derstine, down Derstine to Vine towards Broad Street and head for the Freight House.
At the midpoint, at the Lansdale Public Library, there will be a Pretzel & Water station for those that feel they need a bit of carb-loading to get them through the second half of the race.
The finish line will be towards the end of Vine Street in front of Borough Hall, where you will finish with a huge sense of accomplishment and lots of cheering.
Following the end of the race, participants will cross Broad Street to the Freight House to join in the Oktoberfest festivities. Turn in your second token for a beer (or soda) and have a great time, relive your experience, brag to friends and family, and take selfies to post on social media!
NOTE: Individual and group costumes are encouraged and we will be rewarding our favorites. Cool sunglasses, crazy hats, short shorts, pajamas, you name it, come dressed for fun!
Overachiever: The fastest runners (1st, 2nd, 3rd) will receive a special award, though we haven’t decided on them yet.
VIP Option (very limited):
Volunteers? Yes, we need them! Please email info@discoverlansdale.org for volunteer information.
SPONSORS? Yes, we need them too! Please email info@discoverlansdale.org for sponsor information, or CLICK HERE FOR SPONSOR FORM!
