There are two ways for a charity to win. The three charities with the most runners/walker listing them as the “Charity of Choice” will receive a share of the Oktoberfest proceeds:
First place will receive 20 percent of the proceeds; second place will receive 15 percent of proceeds, and third place will receive 10 percent of proceeds.
Last year the top winner was Team Prime Time, who took home $5,250. Second place was PLC who received $3,150 and third place was Resilient Palisades, which received $2,100.
Additionally, all runners, who enter a “Charity of Choice” recipient on his/her registration form will participate in a random drawing and if selected will receive five percent of the proceeds.
Local streets will be closed and the run includes a scenic turn on Almar Avenue, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Get together with like-minded individuals and enter for a charity that you feel is deserving.
