REMINDER: Highline Schools Foundation’s annual Burien Brat Trot & Oktoberfest will be held in Downtown Burien this Saturday, Oct. 5, 2024.

For 15 years, Burien Brat Trot has been a fun community event for all ages, bringing joy to the streets and raising critical funds for the Highline Schools Foundation and its work throughout Highline Public Schools.

Brat Trot is back in 2024 – join us on Saturday, Oct. 5 for our 5k Run/Walk and Kid’s 1k Fun Run through the streets of Olde Burien, starting and finishing next to Burien Town Square Park.

After the races, stick around for Burien Oktoberfest in Town Square Park – featuring a brew festival with local beers, kids’ activities, games, live entertainment, and even a root beer garden for all ages!

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.”

Register

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:
